One of the perks of having the abundance of free time I've experienced this past month is that it offers me the ability of honing my [very amateur] photo editing and graphic design skills. Over a year ago I learned of a freeware program called GIMP that is comparable to Photoshop, equally powerful, yet free!
I've had GIMP on my machine for a while, but up until this past month I'd been pretty intimidated by it and hadn't really messed with it much. However recently I was motivated (upon having the desire to give odfm a rhytidectomy) to tackle the GIMP. I've done lots of research, learned lots of stuff, and made lots of things. This post will exhibit some of those things.
Above is the ever popular mostly-black-and-white-with-one-colored-item photograph. Subject: Lauren Rouse (who's engaged by the way, for those you hadn't heard). Below I hope you'll enjoy my new desktop background, followed by some headers I made just for kicks, and finally my most recent facebook profile picture. Comment away. Or don't.

very nice there DO(H)!
I like the stages of shaving...
I ove the progression from Santa-in-training to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle to Civil War Re-enactor to Buddy Lembeck (from Charles in Charge). Very impressive; You Rock.
For some reason it also reminds me of the Brady Bunch... if they were twins... and in their 20s.
I am not sure which header is best. At first I though the top one... the red/blue/other pattern is mucho cool... but I think in the end I vote for the simple but classy number 3.
Other than that... enjoyed the pics. See ya 'round.
talent.
Can you teach me to GIMP too? I've had it on my computer for ages but I'm very intimidated.
