A "craft" for your freetime
It doesn't matter how I found it, but I just stumbled across a "women's interests" website (bellaonline.com) and found this gem of an artistic trick. The alternative is, of course, to just use a polaroid camera. But what's the fun in that?
Instant Polaroid Creator
Like many photographers, I'm a huge fan of the Polaroid. I have a "classic" camera that takes the instant pictures you have come to expect: The click, the whir, the photo pops out of the front and eventually fades in (with that tell-tale slim white border and wide space at the bottom). Polaroid has even come out with new films that make stickers and smaller cameras for easier portability to broaden their instant portrait products section.
Because a Polaroid picture has such a recognizable look, it's a favourite among digital artists and web designers for creating graphics. Using digital imaging software, such as Photoshop, you can easily take any image and make it into a Polaroid-esque photo.
If you aren't keen on using Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to get the Polaroid look, there's a site online called the Polaroid-O-Nizer (http://pon.josti.nl/) that allows you to take any image that's online and make it into a digital Polaroid.
You can change the background colour from the classic white, alter the angle it's viewed at (or keep it straight), shift the centering of the photo, and add text to the bottom.

Just making my presence known in this post.
ha! wow, talk about something no one will get.
Well, you got it... and even after that operation, I think you still qualify as a person. Maybe.
I just actually read the post. Interesting!
Also, did Miss Steele post something recently?
I could have sworn that I scanned a recent post by her, but I don't see it anymore.
Maybe I'm just a horseless carriage.
awww...
I remember laughing at some point while I was scanning it. I was on the phone at the time so I couldn't read it.
Add it to the list of my life's regrets...
I was wondering what happened to it. You should not have taken it off, it was beautiful.

Well we definitely don't have those fine legs laying around and nobody but nobody finds images online like my Stele.
