This photograph was taken when my mother was 12 years old, in France at her Confirmation.

This is what I did to it: gave it some color, added/subtracted, and just had fun with it:

I also redid my banner and made it more “playful” and “edgy”.

She’s no longer a “Princess Brat” because we’ve got “16″ closing in on us sooner than I want to believe in. Here is an image that I just finished. SHE took the picture of herself and I photo-manipulated/painted it. Keep in mind all of my work go through many processes before I reach the “photo manipulation” part. Click on the thumb for the larger size.
THE ORIGINAL, NON-MANIPULATED, PHOTOGRAPH:

I was, I think, two in this picture. This is her original costume–the daisy is prominent because her clown name was “Crazy Daizy”. I believe this was a birthday party for me. As always, click on thumbnail for full view.
ORIGINAL:

ALBUMEN:

DAGUERROTYPE:

CROSS-PROCESSED:

CLASSICAL:

MODERN:

Lastly, I really like this next style because it gives it a 3-d, graffitti look–BRICKWALL w/GLAMOUR, NIGHT EFFECT FILTERS:

Enjoy.
