The GREATEST PHOTOSHOP OF ALL TIME

My boss Lyndsey has been teaching herself Photoshop and trying to boost her skills by practicing on her coworkers. I posted to Facebook a picture of me that she'd edited and asked friends what they thought of it so she could get some constructive criticism. Overall, the reviews were positive, although we agreed that my face had too many shadows removed, leaving it looking a little fake. My friend Shannon, with whom I worked at Loyola, suggested that I ask Lyndsey to Photoshop my head onto Ray Lewis' body. I passed the suggestion along to Lyndsey, and in two minutes, this is the masterpiece that she created:

This picture made me laugh so loudly and so hard at work that I cried at my desk. It's the greatest thing I've ever seen, and it's now my Facebook profile picture.

Amazing Photos from Ray's Last Day at Ravens Stadium

Shawn Hubbard has been a photographer for the Baltimore Ravens for a long time. He's one of the lucky men who does the photo shoots for the cheerleaders calendar. He was asked to take photos during Ray Lewis' final game in M&T Bank Stadium against the Colts. These pictures are beautiful and poignant. I want to purchase prints of several of these beautiful shots. Shawn, on the other hand, rolled his eyes at me when I said that I had forwarded the link to him.

Shawn: "Why do you think I like Ray Lewis and want to look at pictures of him?"
Me: "Because even if you don't like HIM, the photographs themselves are gorgeous! You can appreciate the photography at least..."
Shawn: "No, I can't."

What a Grumpy Cat. >:P

Here's the link for those of you who DO appreciate beautiful photography, regardless of whether or not the subject matter is on your football team: http://shawnhubbard.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/ray-leaving-a-legacy/

This photo is the one I wish I could purchase most. I'm woman enough to admit that it made me tear up a little.
