This is the last photo I have from my Fort Baker photoshoot a few weeks ago. There’s a little marina at Fort Baker so I walked around a little bit to see what I could get. What a great place to have a boat! Right at the foot of the Golden Gate. Nice!!
Squiggles
Should you wish to purchase this image, please click here.
Love everything about this; the color palette, the texture, the composition. If my walls weren’t already filled with my own work I would easily have purchased this. Still, I am tempted.
Just a note: you can use old candles to make new wax candles. There is a method to making them in a crock pot that works well and is safer than on the stove top. Google it…I don’t quite know where the article is anymore.
There is a method to taking old candles and melting them using a crock pot and making them into new candles. It’s on the net; I just don’t remember where. It’s not hard and a lot safer than boiling the wax on the stove top.
Well, you must have rubbed off because I started experimenting too. LOL Hehehehehe So we both are mad scientists. And the funny thing is, I couldn’t tell you what I did. I was in SO many editing rooms having a blast pushing sliders …… 😉
Yes, that would help. But I get so caught up in what I am doing, I don’t want to write things down. 😦 *sighs* OK. I’ll write things down. That WILL help me in the long run! 😉
I label my layers now so I can see what I did. Like: NCEP-GlamorGlow, HighPassFilter, etc. I didn’t write them down either for a long time but then I’d like what I did and wanted to repeat it! No way can I remember things like that lol.
Well, that is what I will do too. In fact, I am going to find a separate notebook (I know exacty where one is) to begin writing down what I am doing. Something that Stacy said in her last post I laughed as she said, she went sideways and this way and that and no way could she remember what she did. SO, there are many of us not remembering, just playing. LOL

You are so sweet Emilio. Thank you! Believe it or not, I don’t have any of my own work on my walls. I need to do that.
July 4, 2015 at 9:58 am
Love this one. The squiggles remind me of an ancient nautical map for some reason. 🙂
July 4, 2015 at 10:34 am
You know what? I see what you mean. And it’s the tones and processing that lend itself to that as well. Man am I good hahahaha! Thank you. 😉

July 6, 2015 at 11:28 am
Yay! So glad I got a wow from you Amy. 🙂 I really love processing. I feel like a mad scientist!! Thank you. :))

July 6, 2015 at 4:07 pm
I’m so glad you’re experimenting! I have a method now for different things. I’ve finally been writing it down lol. I couldn’t remember either!
July 6, 2015 at 4:09 pm
Yes, that would help. But I get so caught up in what I am doing, I don’t want to write things down. 😦 *sighs* OK. I’ll write things down. That WILL help me in the long run! 😉
