This week over at I ♥ Faces they were having a "Happy Birthday" theme so I thought I would enter since I just took them Saturday. I'm also new to editing so I thought this was good practice.

First Photoshop Fix

My first attempt at editing a people picture...trying to remember the steps that Tracy taught me. (Tracy, of course it's another picture of Levi! I told you he's been taking the best ones.)

Tuesday when my dad came over for his birthday, I figured that was a good time to take my "older person" shot.

This is typical when he comes over. Craig usually asks him about some project that he wants to do.

Another thing he's known for is pushing the kids on the swing...here he is running underneath Luke

Why are you taking a picture of me?

He's a very active PawPaw...he always plays whatever activity the kids are doing...

we were playing kickball

Miriam wanted him to read this book...

notice his big cup...he's known for having BIG fountain diet cokes...that he lets the kids drink!

I took a couple of Sara & Dad

I think this was the best one of him...

(I was going to crop Sara out, but I couldn't figure out the best way to do it)

This is his typical look with his mouth wide open...

people always comment about how he looks in choir...

(we even made his mii on the Wii with his mouth open)

He may be an older person, but he's the most active and strongest person I know.

He's Craig's go-to guy when he wants something done!

While ZeeZee was kissing Micah, I told her to do it again since our assignment was to take a picture of an older person. She told me she wasn't the oldest so I had to take a picture of PawPaw.

These were good pictures though, but they're not for the assignment :)

I want to help unload the dishwasher too!

I thought this was a great shot, but I feel like it needs some editing. So I'm looking forward to Tracy's photoshop class so that I can learn how to do this.
