I like to manipulate.

Ok. Every time I learn about something new to photography, I kind of "nerd-out" for a spell and am glued (or as glued as I can be with two babies -more like "scotch taped") to the computer. This time it is all about textures. I used to be one of those darkroom experimenters, staining the photo paper with dyes and toxic chemicals. Here are some samples of images taken in Cuba that I manipulated the old traditional way.
Now I get to do that with Photoshop, minus the dizzy spells and green cast to my face.
Here are a few examples, more to come...
