This the original photo of Mr. Getty, taken in 2003 in the chapel of Gettysburg College. Notice the young Mr. Lincoln on the right.

To create the image I wanted, I cropped the photo down using Photoshop. Next, using the cloning tool, I took out the folded program the elderly man on the left was holding. Next I took the color out of the photo then started playing around with the tone. I added a little yellow, a little red, and another dash of yellow. But after an hour, I still couldn't find the look I wanted. That's when I reached for the phone and called number 1 son, a.k.a., Skippy.

Say hello, to Skippy. Aside from being my oldest, he's a graphic artist. So, I says 'help' and he says 'e-mail me the original image.

Two days later, Skippy sends me the finished product. At first I thought he went a little overboard with the yellow. But, over time, the image has grown on me. I think he did a fantastic job. Now, if he only lived close, he could give me lessons in Photoshop.

Thank you son, er uh, Skippy. By the way, folks, did I mention he's single and has his own place? I didn't? Well he is. Want his phone number? Give me a shout. Serious inquiries only.
P.S. Check back next Wednesday. I'll be doing something special for Wordless Wednesday. Until then...see you in the funny papers.
