Picture of the moment: Up the garden path

Today was a good day for all concerned. I had Skype on a mostly work schedule, and got some time for my self for the first time since I got him. I got caught up on some Photoshop work that has been pulling down on my neck.

In the afternoon while Mili was walking Skype I went out shooting with my friend Randy. He just got a new D70 and wanted to get some more shots with it. I’ve been an admirer to Randy’s style for a while now, so after we exchanged a few Photoshop techniques I tried them out and came up with this shot. The old school look is definitely borrowed from Randy’s book of tricks.

I like this shot because the depth of field is so selective. The blur at the bottom helps draw my eye up into the center, and the blurred stairs at the top hint of a special place, hidden away.
