A maven is someone who is experienced or knowledgeable. Given the title of this post, I suppose it goes without saying that the contents of this flickr set exhibit the telltale signs of a Photoshop maven at work. Some quick background…
A couple years ago, my dad, who — up until recently — had been a church custodian for 29 years (congrats on the retirement, pops!), asked me if I could get some pictures of a project he was working on. He was hoping to modify the reredos in the church sanctuary so that parishioners could better see the choir behind it. Without any real Photoshop experience, I told him we could get some shots of the scene that would enable me to mock up a version of the altar that would show what he was thinking about. The final product turned out surprisingly well, which is surely more a testament to the power of Photoshop than to any l33t skillz I possess.
