I have to say that I am delighted that so many people think that I am so talented to have manufactured (faked) the picture on our cards this year. However, I'm here to tell you that while I am a very amatuer photographer, I am not that talented with PhotoShop. To illustrate the point, here are the "proofs" of the card... followed by a number of the pictures I rejected when selecting the one to use for the card.
The kangaroo in this picture is named Kelly. She is one of two orphaned kangaroo joeys that were being fostered by my friend, Amiebeth. There is a wonderful program here in Alice Springs that asks people to foster orphaned and/or injured animals to get them healthy enough to go back into the "wild" on preserves.
The setup and rejects...

My kids (and I) loved your Christmas card! They were amazed by the real kangaroo. Merry Christmas down under from us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Christmas Card and I also thought you had inserted the roo.
ReplyDeleteI know the roo poo wasn't photoshopped!
ReplyDeleteIt was clearly Photoshopped! I found the original here!
