"You learn something new every day."

Yesterday, I went to a very nontraditional baby shower with my cousins. What made it nontraditional was that it was typical of a family gathering with women inside doing their thing and men outside drinking beer. Out of respect, I had to drink (I am almost 23, by the way) half a can of “reds,” as I learned Budweisers are called. “Blues,” if I remember correctly, are the Budd Lights. I abhor the taste of beer, so I was sipping it casually, thinking of a way to get out of it until the host approached me for toasting and sharing gulps. I willingly obliged only to find out that chugging beer is so much better than sipping it; it’s just easier to avoid the taste that way.

I’m really not a drinker, so I don’t know much about these things at all.

Now, onto something more constructive! It’s been awhile since I’ve done a tutorial, so I’ve decided to take on The Maiden and Hummingbird Photo Manipulation Photoshop Tutorial.

I added my own touches to it, of course, which included excluding the hummingbird. I didn’t like the hummingbird anyway. Doing this, I learned more about the liquify filter options and played around with one of my favorite Photoshop adjustments, curves.
