The Good Ol' Days

I was reading through a Photoshop book the other day and came across a technique for adding white borders around images, and it reminded me of Paul McCartney's website, where the images look like Polaroids. I miss taking Polaroids. So, in a reminiscent mood this morning, I sat down and applied the technique to some shots I took in Marathon yesterday on an Alpine run. Looks pretty cool, huh? I had to go in and change my blog template to make them stand out more. (I didn't really like the other one, anyway.)


I may have to play with this technique some more and see if I can put little black triangles in the corners so it looks like an old photo album. Or a shadow. Hmm. . . That may or may not accentuate the "handwriting" in the border.


One more just to give this installment the magic number "3" I'm so very fond of. I saw a shot similar to this in a movie (I think it was Dancer, Texas) and thought I'd try it out myself. It needs something more, I think -- something in the background, maybe. I'll have to keep my eye open in my travels.
