attempt at textures

Posted in Uncategorized by joelgutowsky on February 26, 2009

i have started working with textures on my photography. this guy daley hake is really, really good at it and inspires me to learn more. i think a great texture can take an ordinary photograph and make it really stand out in a crowd.

here is a picture i took near belmont street in portland oregon.

now here is the same picture with texture added.

what do you think? i know it is a really simple texture with not much editing done to it, but it is a start. here’s to learning!
