Discounted Memory
Another one of Melbourne’s many laneways. Soon as I took this, i was reminded of life in the late 70’s / early 80s by the building at the end of the lane.
Using texture layering and colour altering in photoshop, I was able to take the photo back in time, to an old jacket pocket, where it had been left, crumpled and forgotten for decades.
As usual, all my endeavors to find the right texture for this took place in the wee hours of the night. Finally finishing it at 2am.
