“Photomaniping” they call it. Now that I’m familiar with most of the Photoshop tools thanks to @CrimsonBeirut and a few books, I’m taking on a few tutorials to see how everything comes together. Some ideas of my own are also taking shape and I will start executing one of them very soon.
I chose this picture because I kind of see myself in it. (Not that I have long hair or anything!) It’s fire. Fire can be for passion as much as it can be for rage. This burning feeling we feel inside can consume us in a second sometimes; it can also be very destructive and turn us blind. As long as we channel it, clear our mind, see the big picture, the same fire can be more constructive and used for better ends. Yes, if we put our minds into it, we can control those spontaneous volcanoes!
