Where art comes to life!
Where art comes to life!

I’m heading off in a few minutes to meet up with my ride to Cleveland again, but this time some friends and I are going to help a family move from Cleveland to West Virginia! I should be away for a couple days, helping load their truck and whatever else needs being done.
Recently I helped a friend prepare a photo for a contest (sadly I didn’t send it back to her until it was too late – it was taking forever to attach the file.) Anyhow, the job was relatively simple: remove the people from the background and make the image look stunning. Well, I didn’t get around to making it look awesome, but the people sure have disappeared.

She was very pleased with the result, and is even going to frame it, so all is well.
I edited it in GIMP 2.6.6 and used the Clone and Heal tools, as well as blur.
Well, I had better pack for this trip. A ton has happened since this post and my last, including working on my website, (the main part of this site,) visiting Colonial Williamsburg, starting private vlogging, and so forth.
God bless and see you next time!

Today I added a new splash image to my homepage, www.benjamindbailey.com, so when you go to my website you aren’t confronted with the horrific file structure system.

New splash image!
And of course, with a little CSS magic you have your classic-looking image rollover, which reveals “Go 2 Blog” – a sweet, strong invitation to join in on my merry journey!
Now for some sleep. Tons of video editing I’ve been putting off to do tomorrow. Man, I should learn to use buffer when working with deadlines.
Anyway, toodles!

P.S. And a big thanks to Andrew Duncan for fixing the permissions on my Wordpress installation so I no longer have to link to my images on imageshack.us. Now I can upload my files directly to the server! Whoot!
