One of the main tools in my toolbox turns 20 this month! I first started using Photoshop (version 3.2) in 1993. Photoshop changed everything! What would I be doing if this program had never been invented? Probably this. (Or something like it!)

Here are a few of my own Photoshop favorites:

The earliest one I could find, named “Tillin’ the Taj Mahal”

This one of Austin breathing fire, is still one of my all-time favorites!

I won! (And can’t believe it! :)

So I made it to the Top Three in the Oregonian’s Photoshop contest! I am posting this larger one here so you can see more detail if you want to.

I did add a couple more “voodoos” to this version (in the two cars in front of the last motorhome), so that there are an even two dozen! (The 24 includes the M&M doughnut on the side of the truck.)

It’s kind of a fun way to call attention to the traffic problems in this area! A couple of years ago I explained the problem this way.

Here is my original photo. While the backup is caused by the bottleneck in Dundee, these cars were actually in Newberg (2 miles away), and not moving.
