I happened upon the Twilight Zone episode “It’s A Good Life” by accident. Our #ds106zone class has a Twilight Zone theme so I was hunting around watching episodes I hadn’t seen before and I’m glad I chose this one. I really enjoyed it. Towards the end of the episode, Anthony starts to make it snow. I got a kick out of that scene and thought, wouldn’t it be cool (pun intended) if someone could make it snow in the summer.

Then I stumbled across this ds106 assignment: Winterize It!

Take a picture from summer and winterize it! Using photoshop or an online photo editor such as picmonkey.com lighten the color to make the temperature appear cooler, add scarves, snow flakes, or even a snowman! Use your imagination and take a photo from another season and turn it into a winter theme to prepare for the winter season ahead.

Perfect! Now…what photo should I start with…I had an awesome photo of the Golden Temple in Kyoto Japan taken in the summer. It’s a great looking building so I photoshopped it to make it look like it was colder and snowing. I added snow the roofs, tried to emulate some snow drifts/irregular patterns caused by the wind. I adjusted the colors to match a more desaturated winter look.

I’m pretty happy with how this turned out over all.
