I was recently in VA Ashton...but I didn't get to Richmond. I believe this one is from Pueblo Co

Wow, I just loved the packaging of the Uneeda Bisquit box when I was younger. That big one-strip cracker box was more important for me to just hold in my hands than actually eating that giant cracker. That cracker didnt taste good to me.
There was just something so comforting and "down-homey" about that dark blue color on the crackerbox with the white embroidery look around it.
It reminded me of that dark blue or black color on the morton salt round box.

someone please?
 

It's time for a new subject please...any suggestions?

Lets try something a little different. I purpose post shooting work...something that you shot then played with on editing software.

These are called grunge..using textures then erasing areas to enhance areas. then merging the layers.

Here's another one...great idea Ashton...I am still trying to figure out merging layers. I think I will take an editing course soon.

I went to a car show with my brother & family, my brother's had his Chevelle in the show. Of course I took multple pictures. Several months later for my brother's bday I picked out about 40 images and using photoshop turned them into coloring book images had it printed; sent it and crayons to him. I titled the book "Eric goes to a Car Show" he got a big kick out of it....
The 1st is his Chevelle
