There is an art in the process of taking a photograph, however, there is a second art in taking a great photo, and then turning it into something it had never planned to be. I call this photopainting. It is every bit the same as any other graphic design piece of art, it just used photography as it’s base medium. See if you can see the face of the person the blue hand is reaching towards.

I have a grandson, whom I love very, very much and had the honor of being able to see him at Christmas time. He probably hates it, but I have always called him my Hunter Bear. I got to take care of him a lot before he was five, then his parents moved for a job and I still miss him everyday. He is growing so fast, and I hate that I am missing most of it. But here is one of the High Points. We went to a magic store and he had so much fun that I started taking his photo in my sunglasses while we tried on hats. . Here is my version of his photo minus the hat.
