I suppose it's a little silly that I find removing color from isolated sections of pictures (or, vice versa, leaving color in isolated sections of pictures) to be so pleasing.  I really think that this is what Christo saw in his head when he envisioned The Gates.  I can't imagine him being impressed with his orange gates, now no longer up, blending in with the scenery of a vibrant Central Park.  The only possibility, then, is that he saw Central Park as a monochrome palette, either due to snow or a falsely black & white vision of the park.

I'm getting better with the photoshopping, I think (well, I hope).  I'm getting more comfortable playing with the adding of shadow and darkness, as this and the following image will demonstrate (the next one is a little more dramatic).

I don't know how others feel, but I am thoroughly annoyed by the new interface used by Typepad.  I find it sloppy.  I also find that the interface often resizes my photos, regardless of how I pre-set the image's display qualities in HTML.  I'm thinking that this interface does not serve a photoblogger well, and I'm going to start investigating alternatives to this blogging application.  Any suggestions?
