Way back in early 1990 I was working at Walt Disney Imagineering Research and Development. Our job was to find cool technologies to use in the theme parks and movies. One day our software guy brought me a stack of floppy disks and said "this is some cool new program called Lightroom 1.0, we should check it out". Well, I also had a digitizing tablet and pen and a slide scanner that we were playing with. That year I made this greeting card, my first ever creation in Photoshop! It's pretty crude but I'm no artist and decided to try painting on some antlers and a Santa hat regardless of my lack of skills. I actually drew in each little white snowflake too because I didn't know how to make it any other way. I took the picture with my Canon AE-1 and scanned the Kodachrome slide with the new-fangled slide scanner.I lost track of the digital file years ago, but this scan of a print survives. Sorry for the lousy quality, but I think the fun factor is the main thing here. Happy holidays!
