Hi Kari, the school your asking about is Irondale. in New Brighten/ Mounds View.

Thanks Kari for your comment on "Kittens" picture. I´m glad you liked it..

Tuesday night. the 16th. *smile* thanks for looking!

Thanks a lot, Kari, for the kind comment on my first autumn shadows. Only now I will actually start to have biggest fun taking photographs, when autumn starts.

Hello Kari, I'm glad you enjoyed "spurst". I made it with Photoshop CS. I was working on a totally different design, but when I used the magic wand tool I came across that really artistic pattern. Then I duplicated it and inverted it and also flipped it vertically and placed it behind the original dark grey pattern. Then I placed a jet black bacground behind the white pattern and put a bright lens flare in the center to give it that explosive illusion. Finally I gave each layer a zoomed radial blur to give it that vaporized look and that the whole picture in a nut shell. The whole thing is only three layers:1st (dark grey pattern) 2nd is (white pattern) 3rd( black background with bright lens flare in the middle). Thanks again for your feedback, much appriciated.
