I found this cool site today, by way of someone on the Photojojo forum, where you can transform your photos (very quickly) so that they appear to be from very old, faded newspaper clippings. I’m sure one could do some interesting projects using this technique, maybe for someone’s birthday or anniversary, or just for your own amusement.
The old saquaro from my last post:
Old Main at ASU:
Memorial Hall at Steele Indian School Park:
An old gazebo at ASU:
A friend’s door at her older home:
A new building made to look old (except for the security bars):
Pretty entertaining, huh?
