Creepy, creepy subway

Wednesday May 7, 2008 15:57 | Photography, Retouching | User ImageBuikhu |


Remember that one time I retouched a random photo without asking permission first? Well, guess what? Now she’s suing me.

Nah, I’m just kidding. She actually liked it and sent me a new photo voluntarily. She told me she couldn’t do a thing with it so I decided to give it a try. I soon realized she was right: this photo was so damn boring I almost fell asleep.

Take a look:

Yawn. But I wasn’t going to give up. After naps 3, 4 and 5 I finally got an idea. I wanted to go for the Indie Movie Look.

I think somebody is following her… And not just on Twitter.

P.S. Nine Inch Nails is doing something really cool! They are giving away their newest album, The Slip, for free. Yes, the full length album, there is no catch. It’s DRM free, too. I don’t usually listen to their music but I think what they are doing is awesome.

Hit the play button to listen to Discipline:

Hmm, this “P.S.” is almost longer than the actual post. How pathetic is that?

    @pia: Yes, occasionally. Pricing really depends on what needs to be done.
