                <description><![CDATA[ I'm tired of looking through stock photos and people saying that Photo Retouching isn't art. <br /><br />I can understand how some wouldn't want someone to just retouch their photo or just apply levels and curves. I can understand that they want more done with their photos. Just say that. But you can't put art into categories. Art can be virtually anything, if you're creative and imaginative enough to notice it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ So lately I have been really into retouching and restoration. I think its one of the things I am naturally good at. I'm also becoming aware of things that I'm not so good at or I don't have the attention span to want to try to improve, and that is website design. I just never really had the dedication.<br />
<br />
I've been using stock photos from this site to improve my skills. Please comment, give critiques, tear apart my artwork, honesty is the ONLY WAY that I will get better.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have been kinda depressed these past few days, mostly about stuff happening at home and a far. I have family in Mobile, Alabama & Louisiana. Luckily everyone is okay there, and nothing happened to their homes. THANK GOD!! Lately, I have just stayed away from the news cuz it gets to me emotionally. It's horrible to see what has happened there, even more horrible to see the after effects. Men raping women, people stealing, shooting at police officers, people dropping dead in the streets, families that have lost their loved ones. It's crazy, I cannot even IMAGINE what it must be like there! Even more horrible is to see children without food, without clean clothes and shelter. The disease and the illness there must be off the charts. It has become like a third world country there. It's insanity. <br />
<br />
What really pisses me off is the way everyone is acting there. I don't understand people, and why they have to steal, shoot and harm other people, to make the situation worse. This situation doesn't have to be as bad as it is, if everyone would just keep calm. <br />
<br />
My family and I were planning a trip to Louisiana. Go down eat some GOOD gumbo, listen to some jazz, walk down bourbon street, absorb the rich old culture, and the people. <br />
<br />
It looks like we might not be doing that for a long while now, and it may not ever be the same as it was before. Blah. The situation, in all directions, looks bad. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The other day I woke up and I said these exact words while half sleep...<br />
<br />
"Ohh, now I get it, to be without God is to be a snake that wants to swallow an elephant."<br />
<br />
I emphasised "snake".<br />
<br />
Its an Anne Sexton line. It must have seeped in my subconcious, but it still haunts me a few days later. Why did I wake up saying that? It was like I had an epiphany while sleeping. "OHHHH!! NOW I get it!" I had already got the poem before. <br />
<br />
I'm too strange for myself sometime. lol. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I had a dream that a man rescued his lover from a lake that was raging like an ocean. The press got hold of the story and put it in every newspaper in town. And the couple became the town romantics. Everyone was talking about it. Later in the dream, the press started putting the woman in dangerous situations so that the man would rescue her again, and again. The press would catch the heroism and romance on film and put it on television. The climax of the dream happened when the press captured the woman and put her under a bridge, by the lake. It was sort of like The Truman Show. The press watched above and cranked up the lake, until it was raging. Practically everyone in town stood by watching as the woman screamed and tried to swivel her way out of the rope they tied her up in. You could see the lake raging under the heavy night sky, until it became a huge tidal wave and started making its way to the woman. Then suddenly the man jumped down to the bridge, ran down a long corridor that seemed to run on for miles. He grabbed her and wisped her out of the way. He ran and ran and ran, covered in sweat, and about to be drenched in water. The tidal wave came crashing down like a judges gable trying to sentence them to death. The man took the woman and ran by a wall. In this instance, there was a sweet whimper and whisper from the mans lips that said I love you. The woman, face pressed into his chest, red marks from the rope laying on her skin, muttered in the gentlest of word, I love you. They huddled together underneath the falling water holding on with their love, breathing into each other. Finally the water stopped falling, and the man with barely any strength left started running with her through the corridor. The town, watching from a high place, cheered them on with glee. <br />
<br />
Between the dream, I had another dream that was going on. For some reason, I was walking down a street with my dad. There was a bunch of little stores, it almost looked like a country town. And then we went to visit my mother who was in a Laundromat. And that was the end of the dreams. ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm awake. Why? Not because I naturally woke up, or because someone woke me up, but because I woke up quickly and I nervously ran to my bedroom door in search of safety. <br />
<br />
I'm a dork. The quake was 5.6 and centered in Palm Springs. Bah<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Looking through the men stock gallery, I have come to the conclusion, finally, that men are not as beautiful as women. And as much as they try, they will never be. <br />
<br />
Though, I don't mind me a nice guy. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I'm here because I need a space online to submit my work and be able to get replies. I have been graphic designing for a few years. Usually, I just do a lot of photo manipulation. I frequent <a href="http://www.photoshopcontest.com">[link]</a> and my profile is <a href="http://photoshopcontest.com/boards/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=6477.">[link]</a> Now I'm really excited about getting into Vector Art and Logo Design. I'm just trying to find my way around the site. Pretty soon, everything will become natural for me, and I'll be used to the sites navigation. <br />
<br />
I'm an aspiring Graphic Design/Web Designer/WebMaster. Leave comments please! I want to know who is visiting my page, I will return the favor. <br />
