Well.......... not in a row. But at least every other year!

I normally refuse to do portrait work, but I've made one exception. That being my neighbor's 5 grandkids. Since they all know me and are comfortable around me, I was asked to take some pix back in 2009. I started working with the images, and came up with the following composite 7 years ago:

We repeated the image in 2011:

Ten%20Away%20Final%20-%202011%20post.jpg




After that, the tradition was set. 2013:

And earlier this month:

I have each one sign on white paper using a felt marker. I then scan it, crank up the contrast, and create two layers (both with transparent backgrounds). I invert the top layer to make it white, then move it up and to the left, to create a white signature with a black shadow. I copy it and paste it onto the main composite.
