In class on April 7, 2007, we learned how to use the pen tool & paths. At home the next day I spent countless hours creating this collage using a little girl from a photo I took at Mission Bay Beach in San Diego, and putting her in a photo I'd taken of one of the bird aviaries in the San Diego Zoo. Selecting & copy/pasting wasn't too hard, but what took LOTS of time was cleaning up the image and trying to make her look like she belonged there. Tedious but absolutely absorbing work.
