Remember not to forget about me on Flickr.

My son’s expression is enclosed in tube shaped tunnel with windows. Sadly my photoshop skills weren’t good enough to erase the blue blemish on my son’s right eye on the left side of the picture, in the shadow. I applied levels just by taking away the histogram side empty spaces. I then used content aware scale to stretch the picture a little. I was just playing around when I started to like it more and more, moving my kid around. I settled by keeping my son on the lower left, denoised and dodged and burned to get the shot to pop. I increased his eyes sharpness and clarity.
The final result felt made me feel as if the message were negative, although we had a lot of fun and my son was just passing by. But it felt like one of those ads for mistreated children somehow. Hence the title “remember not to forget about me”.

Static charge Luna on Flickr.

One awesome afternoon with my children…

Walking on our usual in the Appio Claudio park we found a newly built playground. Useless to say, my children went nuts and started their daily exercise.
One of the slides, for some reason, created static electricity when my kid went down.
Check out her hair!!
