The Next Level
I just put in an update on Kristanna Loken. There are two new pictures, but if you think something else looks different, you're right. I started editing shots a little while ago. It started small, with little crops here and there to get rid of dead wood
like when there's a JPEG that's a combination of 6 pictures or so but only one is hot. Then I started fixing the brightness, contrast, or even the levels manually, and moved on to fixing color and bringing it out. Now take a look at the picture on the right. This is just how far I've gone with the editing. That's a Shape Magazine cover. You can still see faint letters from the original image in the big version (even in the thumbnail you can see the SH), because I'd spent too much time and wasn't going to bother editing it further. Still, though, it's been turning into quite a bit of editing, and I'm pleased with the results. I'm sick of looking at badly done scans, etc., and saying that it's not my place to fix them, as we just steal pictures here. I think this is where I want to go with the future, where I invest time into making the best copies of a photo and have these copies still available years down the road when other sites have shut down.
In the meantime, I said two days ago that Asia Argento was probably going up next, but I put up Denise Richards instead. Well, can you blame me? Denise is so hot. Actually I might postpone Asia a few more rounds, as I've got pictures of all sorts of girls to start working up. I think I'm done looking for Rachel Stevens, the singer I mentioned before. It's hard to define my priorities as there's just so much work to do, but it'll all go up eventually.
