Wind in Your Face
Our little dog loves the wind in his face. When you turn on the hair dryer he comes running in the bathroom so you can shoot him. He moves in so he gets a good shot of wind that blows the hair on his face back. He will stand there forever if you turn the [...]
Project Gradient
Another silly dog photo with a quote. This time I used gradients. It is the red the fades out as it hits my dog. It has moved on the tool bar in this version, but in general the old instructions still work great. I have discovered that this new theme makes all pictures the same [...]
