The last in this mini experimental series. For now... I think this one is my favourite. When I have the time I'll post some details explaining the process involved. There is no Photoshop trickery or any other digital manipulation. It involves a photograph (obviously) which I print out using a laser-printer add some horrible nasty chemicals, some decent quality cartridge paper, a pencil or two and a scanner to scan the result.

It's a happy, good fun shot. I like the effects and the hippyish look. And thank you for the "how to"explanation.

@Michael Skorulski: Cheers Michael. I think I might try some self-portaits using this technique maybe later this week or whenever I get the time. When/if I do, I'll probably post a more 'in-depth' how-to on my Blogger page.
great photo

This is my favorite! I've been browsing a bunch of photos from aminus3's galleries, and I caught your account from your 30sec pier photo which was featured, but I like this one much more. Do you not use photoshop to be more artistic and natural? Anyway, this is a portrait would make me stop and think by itself, but the textures and aging made me stop and think even longer. Really like this shot

@Jacob: Thanks Jacob, glad you like this one- my favourite too. I guess the processes involved here are me just experimenting with new techniques- I teach Fine Art in a UK college and find myself surrounded by people experimenting with lots of different methods and processes like these. Plus, altough I am probably adicted to photoshop, I cant let go of my fine art roots and just have to something different now and then.
