Mary, Queen of Pizza…

Vision of MaryI get having faith. Especially when you live in a neighborhood that has problems with gangs. You might need something to cling to for belief. But seeing a vision of Mary in a pizza pan? Hundreds of people coming to pray to a pizza pan? People driving here from Corpus Christi or Austin to see it?

Come on people. That is just a bit over the top.

I wonder if Mac will still get on the plane on Sunday after seeing this news. Or maybe she will want to go and visit the pizza pan?

Anyone want to place bets on how long it takes for GoldenPalace to make offers to buy this? They can put it alongside the Virgin Mary grilled cheese sandwich after all.

Have a Picnik!

Art on picnik

I edited this photograph yesterday, and while not completely thrilled with it, I was pretty happy. I still use my Scott Kelby Photoshop for Photographers book a lot for help when editing photos, and while I’m getting better – I need more help sometimes.

Today, I saw a photo that another user on Flickr had edited using Picnik. It is a new online photo editor, and it has amazing magic powers. Once I made my edits, I finally had the photo as I “saw” it the day I photographed it! Give it a whirl – it is definitely fun!
