From the Treetop Photography bio picture
  • My name is Tamara and I take pictures…

    Photography is so much more than capturing an image, pictures capture feelings and memories.  I am so privileged to be able to do what I love, and give back to others at the same time.  My hope is that my work will remind families of the important things-the little moments memories are made of.

    I hope you enjoy reading my blog and perhaps find a little inspiration.

[post 101..it's a giveaway!] dallas/ft worth fine art photography

In celebration of post number 101 on this blog I have decided to have a giveaway! Yes, for the first time ever I am making my own custom FTT textures available to you. This set is called “vintage looking-glass”.

Update-this is NOT a contest, if you participate per the instructions thru 9/08/10 you will receive this set of textures! So what ya waitin’ for? :)

How can you get them? Here is how-
1.- If you are already a Facebook fan, suggest us to a friend then leave a comment here saying that you did.
2.- If you aren’t a fan, click on the black facebook sidebar on the left of the blog and “like” us, then leave a comment here telling us you did.
*These textures are not for resale and are intended for your personal use, or for the use of professionals to enhance their client images.

Giveaway lasts until 9/08. Be sure to leave a comment because I will be emailing you the link to download these full resolution textures. Please allow 24-48hrs to receive your textures. Textures may be used in Photoshop elements-CS5.

MOUSE OVER IMAGES TO SEE TEXTURE EFFECTS. All images had basic editing prior to applying textures. Results will vary depending on your method of application and knowledge of photoshop layers.
