No, really. ;) Ok, so this isn’t really a vintage picture, but I was bored tonight and decided to play with Photoshop. Even though I only started collecting vintage pictures this year, I’m influenced by and always loved period films and books. And of course, Vito Corleone is one of my favorite characters! I had to do a real photo postcard of him, as portrayed by Robert de Niro. The background is a detail of a photograph taken of Pell Street, in the Chinatown of New York’s Lower East Side in the 1910s.

Thanks! I found it funny that usually I up the contrast of real photo postcards while here I purposely did the opposite.

It was very successful and a great idea. I think you could develop this into a great project.

It’s a bit off theme for my blog but I had so much fun with it I am tempted to do others. As long as people will enjoy them too. Not true vintage but heh! Thank you for your words of encouragement :)

I don’t think I’ll do them often enough to justify a new blog, but I could add a category for now. Hehe! If I really get into it and get enough feedback I’ll certainly start a new one. This one seems to be taking off on tumblr so that’s a good sign.
