August 19:  SP Friday
AUG-2005 Di, Bandito, and Robin

August 19: SP Friday

Ouray, CO


I find myself reflecting on the incredible experience of driving around the prettiest parts of Colorado with fellow Padders for a week. We had a great time, all learned a great deal, and we have stored memories that will last for a lifetime.

Here I am painting one of my impressions of the week onto the canvas.

I wish I could hang our entire trip on the wall! I have learned to be a better photographer and have made new friends.

Both Di and Bandito took parts of the photo, and I finished it with Photoshop.

I'm not big into archiving however, so I am also posting a qualifying PaD image with ** this shot of Mt. Princeton **

As I have said many times now, I wish I could have gone with you three. What a hoot I would have had! Hope to see again before you go home.

LMAO! You are truly the PS master! This is great!
bandito 21-Aug-2005 13:45
An excellent concept and execution on the canvas, Robin. You did outstanding work with this, and it was fun to watch you work with Photoshop - we all have entirely different workflows, I've now learned! Don't be too hard on me if I call you at all hours looking for help! Now what was that cell phone number ....

Vincente van Reid, great PS work.
Wesley Aston 19-Aug-2005 13:53
Nice painting!
I lost my watch last time I was in Ouray, hiking to the falls. Can you find it for me?
bandito 19-Aug-2005 13:39
I'm honored to have been able to spend a week with you, Mr. Reid. This week has been an outstanding experience for me, and I learned a lot about photography, improved my craft, picked up some photoshop pointers, and made great friends, hopefully for life. I wasn't prepared for how I ended up feeling a very strong bond for both you and Diann - this week will leave me with many memories, and many photos to pull from the archives!

I hope we get the chance to do this again sometime, hopefully soon.

My very best,
Wynn (Bandito, recently sprung from jail in Ouray or somewhere around there, thanks to the generous contributions of my fellow padders)
Zak 19-Aug-2005 13:36
heheh! great SP!
