I used Posterize to bring out the stong colors and planes in the original photo.

We had the day off, so we decided to go somewhere we'd never been before: the Mohegan Sun casino. We're not gamblers (we didn't even play the quarter slots), but our daughter wanted to see the shops. This shot of an animated wolf is the last good picture taken my faithful little Samsung point-and-shoot. I bought it about four years ago with my winnings from the photo competition at our local agricultural Fair. All but one or two of the photos in this blog were taken with it. When I pulled it out about ten minutes later as we were sitting at Starbucks looking at the lights and the people, it would no longer focus. It had been hiccoughing a bit lately, so I suppose its time had come--but I'm going to miss it.
