Alter It

Start with any digital photo you've taken and then alter it with any photography or graphics program. Experiment with different effects, and choose your favorite to share with 2 partners. Opt for a subtle adjustment, an extreme transformation, or anything in between--it's up to you.

Please send your photo in an envelope and, of course, make sure the print is of a quality that you'd like to receive yourself. You might want to tell your partners what program and effect you used in your alteration.

And, as always, have fun!
