For those who’ve spent anytime in downtown Tyler, you’ll recognize this facade — its the New York Store! I can just barely see it from my office during the day (a couple floors higher and I could see the whole thing!).
For the non-locals, the store is closed and the interior has been undergoing renovations for quite some time now. I don’t anticipate its completion anytime soon!
Image was taken as I walked back to my car after my senior spokesmodel’s session back in October … finally got an opportunity in late December to sit down and play with it and several others — for those who wonder what post-processing I used (in Photoshop) on this image, here goes …
… ran the Pink Ink Studios Defog Action to sharpen/clarify (aka remove the hazy feel)
… slight curve adjustment to get the lighting back to how it looked when I snapped the photograph
… used a texture from Nichole V’s Worn Textures set to give it a slightly worn/grungy feel
and for web viewing …
… resized to 25%
… dropped watermark in
… changed to overlay
… and saved as a copy
Voila!
