ds106assignment
Yea… no biggie. Just me and my best buddies hanging out next to a U.S Air Force fighter jet. My arm is around a Civil War Veteran who I got to spend celebrating his 107th Birthday at the Eglin Air Force Base (1955). This veteran’s name is “Uncle Bill” Lundy, who is claimed to be the very last living Civil War Veteran. Pretty cool huh?! I think so too. According to Rare Historical Photos, “The plane pictured is North American F-100 Super Sabre. The F-100 flew extensively over South Vietnam as the air force’s primary close air support jet until being replaced by the more efficient subsonic LTV A-7 Corsair II. The F-100 also served in other NATO air forces and with other U.S. allies. In its later life, it was often referred to as the Hun, a shortened version of “one hundred”.”
I will have to say, this was the most challenging DS106 assignment yet. I am assuming that it was the last one assigned because of the challenge. However, I did not give up, maybe just walked away from my laptop from time to time to then revisit my work to final complete it. I found this image on Rare Historical Photos and I thought the story was very cute. I also was trying to find a photo where I could try and make my hack job of a photoshop look realistic. I am terrible at photoshop and give those who have the skills all the credit in the world. Once I was able to use the Lasso Tool on Pixlr, I was able to then size the image of myself. After I got the correct sizing, I saved the image and then once it was on my laptop, took the image and made it black and white. After that, I was happy with it enough to upload it here! Enjoy!
