I know I’ve been totally MIA lately with regards to this blog. I’ve been working on a HUGE report project for work, and I’ve routinely been putting in 14+ hour days. Yes, I’m getting paid extra for this–it’s going in my trip fund for this summer. And it’s an interesting project–frustrating, but challenging. I thought we were done a couple of times already, but alas, no… but it’s just about there. Have to finish up a few little things this weekend, then it’s going to the printer on Monday, getting bound, and getting mailed off to the people who it’s for. Good times.
Anyway, last night I took a short walk because I needed to get out before I went crazy, and I took a picture with my phone of a neon sign on a car repair place around the corner from me. I’ve been meaning to photograph it for a while since I think it’s kind of a neat sign, and eventually I’ll get back out there with my “real” camera, but I thought this little experiment would be fun for now.
The first shot is the original one I took, and the successive shots are different processing methods done with an app on my phone called PicSayPro. Feel free to click on the title of this post and scroll down to the bottom and leave a comment voting on which one is your favorite–I’d really appreciate it! :-)

I really like the last one. There’s definitely the possibility of a very cool flappers-era type shot in there, and they all sort of circle that potential. The last one comes closest to hitting it.
Very cool experimentation. :)
I like the duotone with the high contrast, but the duo has gone to mono…. still I like it. I like pictures with high contrast generally.
How come comments here work, but you say they don’t work elsewhere?
Oh I see now. On the main page.
