Note to self: must resist the temptation to do three versions of one photo all the time. Must work on that. But, for the time being, here’s three versions of an American icon — the neonish laundromat.

The Olympics of the photo manipulation
I used to not alter my photos because, well, they were always perfect. Yeah. Right. I had neither a computer, a digital camera or the patience to do all of that. But now that I have some time on my hands and a little more patience, I’ve decided to post several versions of the same photo for me to see which one I like best and of course, which one my HUGE reading public likes.

This was another result of the production from the motor drive. Oh well. If I’m not happy with it, I’ll have about a million more chances to photograph it.
New York City can be so pretty…

Not so much here though. I do like this. I don’t usually manipulate my photos because they are always perfect. Just kidding. But this is the point of this thing, for me to experiment. |
