The Great Retoucher

I guess Photoshop is cool. (I don't own it myself.  Nor Lightroom.)  But if you want to know about the best retouching tool of all time, listen up.  

Time is the Great Retoucher.   Ask anybody that's looking at photograph of themselves from 20 years ago.  "Did I ever look *that* good?"  

And it works for photographers too.  What you thought of as second-rate or a throw-away picture becomes a precious memory to someone else.  They'll thank you for taking it.  And saving it. 

I'm never going to be an Ansel Adams or a Galen Rowell.  But I can take pictures well enough to make memories.  You can too. And they just keep getting better and better.  With time.
