self-portrait and blog redos

i'm going to keep trying to keep making/creating things even though thing.a.day 2008 has ended. it might not happen every day, but i'm hoping to post a couple/few times a week at least.

i thought since i'm planning to post to my blog more, i should update it a little... i created a blogger profile, added a description (for [ knitting . sewing . photography . crafty . creative ] things) on the banner, and added some links/buttons along the side menu (for thing.a.day and people).

today i applied some of the photoshop tricks that i learned during last month and re-photoshopped one my self-portraits (also shot last month):

old	new

the new image has more pronounced depth of field and better matte edges, but the levels/balance might be a little off compared to the old one---i need to view it with a better monitor than the one i have at home in order to tell.
