More Photoshop Fun





Just a little more fun in Photoshop with a few images. These two buildings have a bit of significance in my recent past. The Sunflower building is an old hotel, built in the early part of the 20th century, in Abilene, Kansas. It was a favorite stop for President Eisenhower, when he would make protocol visits to his home town. They converted the building into an apartment complex, keeping all of the original decor. It has been placed on the historical registry. The owner's run a very nice operation there. The rent is cheap, and the building is kept clean, and in excellent working order. I enjoyed very low rent there for the nearly 3 years I spent working in that area. The distortion in the image was just for fun. There is a ghost in the machine, er something like that. The other image is of the United Building in Salina, Kansas. I worked on the 6th floor for about a year and a half. The United Building was built around the same time frame as the Sunflower Building.
