vintage photo edit.

i've never really tried to make a photo look vintage...it's something that's happened before while i was editing and i pushed it a little further...but it's never been my full intention. last night i gave it a shot for my homegirl, michelle. she's most definitely good peoples and she's new to the blog world...check her out at eloquent elegance.

alas i digress...this is the original photo she sent me...












back lit...underexposed [i expect better from you, michelle...lol]...but it's a decent image so i wanted to work with it. after lightening it, so it was easier to see, i researched a simple tutorial and combined it with what i already knew to create this...













i dig it...it was easy too. if you youtube things like this you'll get a vast array of results...give it a whirl.
