Travelling cellar door side blues.
I like how Bobby has become this obscure skateboard historian. He tracked down the location of the first documented NYC cellar door to be skated to discover that the door probably isn't there any longer. He also sorted through a randomly gifted box of old photos and proofs from early 1990s Transworld. His fascination with minutia is pretty cool.
Venture was using some Photoshop trickery in the late 1990s to add in their logo to ads. They were mostly successful, but it still looked like somebody stuck in a logo on the computer instead of a sticker occurring naturally in the wild.
Speaking of Photoshop, I downloaded the free trial of Affinity. I probably need to read the instructions. I put together this week's scans with it and I'm not sure how well they turned out. Affinity is very similar to Photoshop, except everything is in a different place. I'm not too keen on their color leveling features yet. Not having Photoshop at home to compare the results doesn't help. I've also been using Photoshop for so long that I've forgotten the how and why for the settings so seeing options in a new program is strange. I downloaded their Publisher program, too. I only tested it for about 15 minutes, but it seems like a nice option to have for design at a reasonable price.
