Photo Fun!

I really love photos.  I might even classify myself as a little overzealous when it comes to whipping out the camera.  My sister, the true photog hates this, but my favorite part about taking pictures is altering them on my computer.  I just don't like the washed out, overly clear photos that digital cameras produce.

Who doesn't love the iconic blue and red Obama "Hope" Poster that Shepard Fairey created for the 2008 presidential campaign?  Now you can make your own at Obamiconme.  Here are some of the ones I made at this site.

This last one doesn't really make sense unless you know how much my sister loves fried ravioli and that fact that she's eating one in the picture

This last one is really cool too.  At befunky.com they have a million different effects that you can play with and it's super easy to save them to your computer.  Here are a few that I tried out...

Alright!  Now go try them out!
