duotone and multichannels

As part of an in-class exercise we learned about the duotone and multichannel mode in Photoshop. Finding an image that I want to play around with is always something that takes me longer than it should. So for inspiration I googled "photo blogs" and found some pretty nice ones. The image that I used for this exercise was found from a blog called San Francisco Daily Photography (http://www.sanfranciscodailyphoto.com/).

So here is how my image turned out.

And the original:

When I saw the original photo I couldn't help but think of Nat because on my last weekend in San Francisco, before moving to New York, we spent the day taking photos around SF like tourists. So this photo is a perfect addition to that collection. But overall, it's a dedication to all my friends and family in the Bay Area. I miss you all!
