first effort Pre-and-post using the new Remove Tool that Photoshop Bata has recently added. Taking out spots and dust artefacts is so much faster with it in this 35mm black and white to digital conversion. The censorship swath was put in after the edits for Instagram safety.

New Year Resolutions
[Fresh Beginnings] Plans For 2023 I’ve never been one for new year’s resolutions, party because speaking about plans can be like allowing them to be jinxed. Yeah I know that’s superstitious.

29-day Facebook restriction
Night shoot on the beach. Goosebumps and perky nips. #artmofelsrule #artnudes #freethenips #nakedonthebeach The above post image and text earned my Facebook account a month restriction today, due to some vaguely applied community standards violation.

No Full-Frame Negs
[Outer Limits] Going Large by Reviewer Rob I’m kind of hitting a brick wall here with these digital conversions. It’s been over 15 years since I left film gear behind and took up digital photography as a primary medium, and unlike some photogs I never looked back.
