Journaling:
Michael is a super affectionate little guy. He loves to cuddle, hug, and kiss. He also loves to “push.” One of his first sentences back in December was “Push Mama/Dada,” while gently pushing us the direction he wanted, or away if he wanted to do something himself. My favorite, which we’re probably not going to be able to photograph, is when he pushes us together and demands that Mommy and Daddy kiss...repeatedly! :) Can’t argue with that!
Interesting tidbit: My DH got a new shoulder...
Nope, not a medical procedure...a Photoshop surgery!
I took a few shots for week 4 that were so close-up, DH's shoulder went off the left side of the frame. Looked great as a full frame, but not so good as an extraction, and I didn't want to push them clear off to the left of the week 4 2-pager.
SO...I took another shot from the camera where DH was similarly posed but his entire shoulder was in the picture, extracted his shoulder, cropped out to just his shoulder and placed it on top of the other in the layers stack. Reduced opacity so I could see through to the other and layer-masked out what I didn't need.
I could see a slight color variation, and if you looked really close you could see the folds of his shirt didn't match properly, but with that delicious counting garbage overlay from Katie Pertiet, who can tell now?! Not me!!
Had to share my funny!
