Subway Love at Photoshop.com |

This image, Subway Love, was made as a portfolio piece. Adobe Systems is featuring the image at Photoshop.com as the 4th image in the slideshow through February. I guess they thought it would align well with Valentine’s Day. I am honored and grateful that they chose my work because their software has been central to my image making for 20 years. I’m still amazed at what this incredible program can do with images; it helps turn my dreams into realities.
