Another marvellous hand shot, although this one's theme isn't that strong. The former one is still my favourite. :)

Thanks PlasticTV. I created around 30 images for this series so there will be plenty more to come.

Great shot(s). I think I prefer this one to the handwriting one of the other day as it has more a more aged feel. Although, in fairness, I think they're both pretty fantastic.
How are they done. I presume they are cross-processed (not entirely sure of the ins and outs of this). Were they shot digitally and then cross processed in ps? Or perhaps shot on film then x pro'd in ps or were they totally manual? Sorry for so many questions, but I have just bought a 35mm Lomo and anticipate doing some x-pro fairly soon!
By the way, I gather from your remember the armadillo site that you live in Minnesota. I was in Minneapolis two weeks ago just for an evening as we had a stopover there before flying on. Managed to head downtown on your fanatstic tram system for a few beers. It was sooooo cold. We don't get cold like that in England - brrrrr. Great place though. Cheers.

Looking forward to them. The only thing i know about Minnesota is the Timberwolves hurhur.

Thanks for your comments Andy. Most of the images in this series are created with multiple images in Photoshop using a lot of different transparency settings and masking. They were a lot of fun to create so I’m glad people are enjoying them. As for Minnesota, this is where I grew up and now spend most of my time. Winters can be a bit cold but actually have been on the mild side the last few years. I think your visit may have corresponded with one of our colder stretches this year. If you get a chance you should try to visit sometime during Autumn which is much more pleasant. Have fun with your new camera.

As for the Timberwolves, I’ve never followed them to much (and judging by what they’ve done I haven’t missed much). I Am a big Vikings and Twins fan though.
