Today, I spoke on the phone with my little nephew in Germany. My sister and her family will be here in a week and visit for a month :) This is a photo I took of him about 1.5 years ago, and it's always been one of my favourites. I was thinking of him tonight and so played around with the photo in learning to use photoshop. When I was little, my Dad still shot slides, and so that is what inspired this effect.
It is interesting how we first use software to enhance images to create effects that cameras are not yet able to manage (HDR for example). And then we get all nostalgic and use software to make the images look like they did back in the day - the slides that were stored unprotected from light and thus have faded a bit, and some might even be damaged. Anyways, I liked the effect, and I suppose I am also a nostalgic person at heart.
