CD Launch Party features Va Media photos

The local old-time string band Old Sledge will have a launch party for their new CD today from 5 to 8 pm at the Palisades restaurant in Eggleston. Here is a link to the MySpace page for the band, and here is a link to the webpage for the Palisades. The album cover features an interior shot of the band on location in an abandoned building in Eggleston.

VCOM Missions Poster

This photo was actually taken by one of the Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) staff who traveled to Honduras to help out in the clinics. The pose was good, and the image was in focus and not too noisy, but it was pretty dark so I had to add a few lightening layers before final sharpening. I overlaid a couple of textures to focus attention and add some richness to the image before adding the text.
