Fun with Photoshop: ExtraLife Ding Pong Challenge

Posted under A Geek Dad's Life, Blog Posts

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, with a major in “Art” and a minor in “Sociology.”  I still wonder how I ended up in the software business as the Director of Technology and Software Engineering at a software company.   I like to think that I put a little art in everything I do. *der*

Still, I need to scratch that creative itch once in a while.  I’ve been using Photoshop since 1991 (on a color Mac in college), so when my e-friend Scott Johnson announced his latest Photoshop ‘put-this-guy’s-face-on-something-funny’ contest, I hopped to it.

Note: I normally don’t have time to mess around with non-work and non-family stuff, but I am out of town on business and have little to do this weekend except sit in my hotel room, do some coding, read some e-mail, and wait for Monday to come.

The picture above is the image of Scott Johnson’s non-blood-related relative, Matt.  Scott J. affectionately calls him “Ding Pong.”  The challenge: put Matt’s face on stuff and make it interesting, funny, and/or creative.

Here are my four pics:

They are good enough.  I see things that I wish I had changed \when I did them, but my itch is scratched; I will not spend anymore time on them.  “Good enough is the new perfect.”
