Decoration Day

A quick Photoshop Elements 9.0 project for Memorial Day, 2011. Stay safe, everyone.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

Just a quick "oil painting" conversion of a mirror self-portrait from either very late 1969 or January of 1970.  My very first 35mm camera, a Yashica TL Electro, purchased at the DaNang PX just prior to coming home. Eventually, I would learn to hold the camera properly.

Analog Kenmore.

Here’s another “oil” from the tropics, c. 1969.  Drying socks.  We would soon learn from the old-timers that it was healthier to discard the socks altogether, as well as the boxers;  less surface area to “grow stuff”.

Boogieing out..

Something completely different.. a scanned 126 Instamatic 3.5 x 3.5 inch print.  From my vacation in the tropics, 1969.  Converted to “oil painting”.
