Chris Craft - the legend! I hope all of you have had a chance sometime in your life to be out on the water, on a beautiful day, in a classic Chris Craft. Chris Smith, who would later start the company, built his first wooden boat in 1874 at the age of 13.

When we walked out of the hotel on Monday morning, to head over to the airport where the balloons would be, this stunner said "good morning Bob!"
So I grabbed a couple of shots. When I saw the image on my screen, I thought of Topaz Adjust 5, and I thought "now here's an image where I can cut loose!" It's kind of a cartoon subject, so it's okay if I lay on the Topaz pretty thick.
I started with the Portrait Smooth preset, then added some more saturation boost, and did a little curves adjustment. Back in PS, I did a little clean up editing, which you can see since the original version is on the Continue link below.

The big mentor in my life, The Cheerleader, always taught me to reach beyond what I thought was capable. I thought of him when I saw this scene.

Came across this beautiful Packard at the balloon festival earlier this month. Since I have taken a lot of car images, I thought I'd try something different. Here in terms of angle and DOF.

Some nights, just the very most special ones, I am transported to my Dreamplace.
