Today was national Wear Red Day, to raise awareness of women's heart disease. Almost all of our staff did wear red, and we took this picture, which I got to tweak a little. Made a b&w layer over the color photo, then erased the b&w over the parts I wanted to be in color. I think it came out pretty nice - good enough that I tried this with a picture of the outside of the library. Fun stuff - I'm only scratching the surface with the GIMP, but this was a pretty easy project, so I can't wait to learn more.

You forgot Barbara's shoe! this is such a great photo- very creative of you to even think of something like this. I think we should take staff pictures more often, maybe wearing our signature color, or all blue or something.
Wouldn't that be fun!

Actually, it was Barbara's idea - she remembered me telling her about a blog post I was reading on how to do it ( http://tinyurl.com/2ajeel ), and suggested I give it a try. Can't believe I forgot her shoe...
