Driving down C-470 towards 6th Avenue, December 2002. Photo taken by the [dm0usE]. Applied mask to me on the left with PhotoShop, then motion blurred the rest horizontally. The 'V2' was placed in overlay mode, the top half duplicated to make it show through more. As to the white-area in the bottom left, I'm not sure. |

A view of the Rocky Mountain foothills from where I'm employed, taken from the top of the building by the shipping manager Justin. Amazing as it may seem, this picture is essentially unaltered from the original, it was an amazing sunset. Again overlaying the V2 seemed to work extremely well. |
| I felt like doing something different from before, so took a hi-res pic of my own eye. At first it didn't work, it needed something else. That came in the form of Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain" speech. I was basically looking for a long & famous speech to overlay, but being originally British myself, it was perfect. It took a while to sort the several paragraphs worth in PhotoShop, and apply the right filter mode to make it blend properly, but I was quite happy with the result. Again the usual stuff with the V2 graphic. |
| This was a shocker! I hadn't asked for it, but one day out of the blue, the [dm0usE] sends me a link to a header graphic he'd done for the site. The images were from the same stock used for the first pic - during his visit to the US in December 2002. The background is from downtown Denver, in the overlay of me I'm holding my friend Chris's CETME Assault Rifle. A wonderful piece of work, a funny line, and I couldn't refuse it for any reason at all. I put it into circulation the same day. |

Yet another photo taken by the [dm0usE] - he takes the best pictures, y'know! At work Saturday morning, pottering around, looking at artwork on DaPrints, I took on the same sort of thoughtful pose that's in the picture. Another case of motion blurring, first masking off the main subjects of the image using a paintbrush & applying a three-pixel feather. The blurred section had it's palette lightened slightly to make the other part stand out further. I switched to a slightly different look for the site logo, opting for a 'neon' style, the V2 still holding it's large dominant role, this time with an inner shadow to exemplify it's position. You can also see a video-feed from Ivan and an ICQ chat to go with it on the screen. |
| You can probably guess who took this picture, based on the previous ones. This is "Smoke Signals", a shop selling various apparatus to smoke 'tobacco' as they put it, located on Broadway St in Denver. The 'pipes' banner was the strongest part of the image, so the rest got the usual motion-blur treatment. Of course, it's the same logo I used in the fifth header, although the 'V2' part had to be tweaked - at full strength it took too much attention away from the image itself. I almost didn't put this in the image collection... In the end, it had to be included, because it shows what a wierd world we live in, where the devices to smoke are legal, but a product to put in them is not. |
| A photo shot by Andrew Hultin, taken from Lookout Mountain in Colorado as the sun set. It was so beautiful, who the hell could say no to something like that? Many thanks for picking that one out and making a header for the site. |
| This one I found most amusing, and no, I wasn't drunk, I simply decided to lay out on the grass. I was over in England for my Bro's wedding in June of 2003, at this moment I was at my friend Dave's place relaxing with the old troupe. Ivan took a photo, and decided to make it into a header image. Apparentally he made this decision moments after taking the photo - makes me think his geek-streak runs much deeper than mine. ;-) |
