Picture

That's one of the tree pictures in our room; it is a photograph!! It was made by a local artist/photographer by name of Pan Walther who took mostly pictures of trees all his life. I really, really wonder how it was done, technically...

In any case, I like this better than the Warhol, and the Haring on the loo...

The Haring on the Loo sounds like an old-fashioned murder mystery.

Heee -- complete with art theft!

Ooo! I know this one! After you develop the film and are actually transferring the image onto the photo paper, you overexpose the paper by flashing the light through the film a little longer than you normally would. Then you develop as usual. I did a whole series like that in college.

And I LOVE that photo...it's beautiful!

That one is actually reversed. (Headdesks as she looks more carefully at it) I know I learned to do it other than in Photoshop, but I've forgotten exactly how. Same idea of overexposure, though.

Thanks for explaining it to me! Or rather us, because I read your answer out to my mom, so we both now know how it was done.
