A storefront Art Gallery in Galena IL.  Several bikes parked in front of it.  I liked the contrast.   Adopted it as my own.  A little PhotoShop.  Some cropping here and there ... and voila!

One of the Naturalists at Lake Katherine Nature Center in Palos Heights IL.  Her name is Wendy.  And I photographed her during the preparations for the Center's annual Monarch Butterfly Fest.   Black and White ... .  I excised the shoulder of one of her helpers, and added 'noise,' then colours, highlighting the picture's edges.  Sharpen.  Adjust the colour balance ... .  Print!

Take one 'fan' photo of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and her series' boyfriend Angel ...

and introduce a black & white photograph of "an admirer" ... .

Leech the colour from Buffy, and change the 'mode' of the black and white so that both images match.

Using PhotoShop's cloning tool, superimpose one 'boyfriend' over the other ... .  Tune the shadows ... hmmmmm ... adjusting the tone.   And?
