Texture Tuesday . . . Vintage

This week's theme was to share a vintage inspired photo. I instantly thought of using my city traffic photo. You can see the original below. I used one layer of Kim's "she loves you yeah" texture which is one of my favorites! I have used it on quite alot of my city images. I also altered the image to a sepia tone. Between the sepia and texture I feel like this image was transformed into a vintage shot of NYC!

As always you can join us for Texture Tuesday's! For more info head over to Kim's website HERE! And to see the entries for this week's challenge check out Kim's blog post HERE!

More Fun With Photo Texture And A Blog Feature!

"City Traffic"

NYC, 2010

Thanks for all the amazing comments on my last post! It was so much fun! This weekend I spent some time printing my photos and framing them for the art exhibit. Since they are all black and white/sepia I went with simple black frames. As you can see I had more fun altering a few photos! Addicting!! "City Traffic" was shot on the corner of Park Ave. and 42nd Street at dusk, altered with sepia, texture, and blurring. I really love this one with the texture!

"View From The Top of the Met"

NYC, 2010

The above image was altered with texture and I lightened the hue to make it look more aged.

"Wishing Well"

Our yard, 2009

For this photo of the well I used a yellow toned texture, sepia tone, and blurring. I think the blurring gives it a dreamy quality don't you?

Hope you are enjoying these! I cannot promise that I will be able to stop posting these anytime soon! lol

Oh, and in other news I was excited that one of the first mixed media pieces I incorporated a photo into was featured on the Creative Catalyst Productions blog! You can read the post HERE!
