I have to confess that I'm
not sure this little house was in the Treme, although I do remember
walking through it when we were in New Orleans in 2013. Anyway, I
like to think it was, because Mr. C and I both loved the Treme series, recommended to me by an ami in France. At the end of
36 episodes, we felt like we knew the characters, that we had been
there with them. And, oh, that Treme Song!
The Photoshop alchemy on
the rather bland original photo included a technique for turning a
photo into a line drawing from the Photoshop Artistry course I've
embarked on. I also used Topaz Adjust on another copy of the photo.
And I've layered two of the terrific textures that Cheryl Tarrant
generously offered for free on her Flickr Photostream. As usual, lots of layers in various blend modes adding up to this effect. All in an evening's
work. Although I really can't call anything this enjoyable work.
