safe.

Watch over her in the desert
Watch over her in the mountains
Watch over her in the labyrinth
Watch over her by the quicksand.

Protect her from the Voices
Protect her from the Visions
Protect her in the tumult
Protect her in the silence.

-T.S. Eliot

{photo notes} :: I heart this picture. It’s a very simple photograph of a simple moment between father and child but it still speaks volumes to me. I love the manner in which she is resting her chin on dad’s shoulder, the slight tilt of his head towards her and her somewhat perturbed expression. I decided to tint the picture to lend to the mood but it didn’t seem quite enough. So I typed up some text and created an overlay to enhance it some more. I like how it looks now.

I love post-processing. I find it to be a lot of fun and it enables me to push myself creatively. Like most photographers, I own a ton of actions and do make use of them but more often than not, I just like to post-process by hand. To see what I can do and where I can take a picture creatively. It ends up being such a learning experience because by playing around in photoshop I stumble upon new techniques all the time.

Have a great weekend!
