Est. 1888

A manipulation of a photo I took of the Washington Monument in D.C.
I tried to make it look like it was cut from an old film reel; I used a texture I made from another photo
and a scan of a negative.

.:Note me if you would like the texture or Negative scan:.

The main purpose of this is from what I've been seeing on CNN and other news stations, this new "war" in the middle east is being drawn out on TV like a film, you can’t tell if the anchors care about the people there, or just the story, so I created a "film" like image from something that most citizens respect.
To add, I saw the same thing at Arlington; at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, some people show up thinking it’s a free show, sit back and watch and talk during the changing of the guards, people going where they should not be going, they forget that it is a cemetery and respect should be shown, yet they act like it’s an attraction at some theme park.
One family had a kid playing and screaming after the change, and the guard turned about; and walked over to the parents telling them to please control the situation or leave, he stood there until they did and the father said a crude remark, and they left.
