"Little moments can have a feeling and a TEXTURE that is very real." ~Ralph Fiennes

Experimenting with adding "texture" to photos...

Texturized ;)

I obviously didn't take this photo (since I'm in it) but thought the editing came out ok.

Of course, now I need to "develop my eye" for when to apply it and to which photos. Yet, I'm excited about this new (to me) technique! I'm having fun finding my own "textures" (many you can get off flickr as noted above). The ones that aren't noted, I created.

"I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it... I always want to see the third dimension of something... I want to come alive with the object."
