* Uncle Fred *
    Here's a picture I did some years ago. I actually sent it back on 12/20/00. Then it was in color. This image was originally taken from a frame off of a video from a camcorder.
    Now if you know much about video you understand that each frame is at an extremely low resolution and quality. Way too low to be used for anything professional. However, with a little touch up here and there you could get away with using them in certain creative and artistic ways. I have done this on occasions and felt that I came up with some pretty neat results. ("PULL!" - 7/12/00 and "Free-Fly" - 3/20/01) For the past year I have admired this image for my uncle's expression. I have just recently thought of taking it totally black and white so I did and liked it. Afterwards I added a little red and green to give it a slight "sepia" feel and brought the brightness down a touch as well. I may also end up brushing out the lamp.
