Frank Hardy Made My Photographs Two

This a photograph of the first Medical Center Clinic that is located over on Palafox Street.  It has been abandoned for years and has really fallen into a state of disrepair.   The original scan is posted below …

As you can tell, I removed the people from the side of the building and the telephone poll out front.  I probably would also have removed the street sign next to the telephone, but I wasted to much time on the telephone pole.  For future reference … there is not a magic wand in Photoshop that magically removes people and objects without leaving any traces.  It takes a lot of selecting, cutting, pasting, masking and blending to get these photos to look like the top photo.  Most people do not realize hoe much work is entailed to get all of this to blend seamlessly and to look believable.  I have shown one image of the Hotel San Carlos that I have a before and after view … at some point I might put together all of the steps involved in creating these images.  Thanks for looking and let me hear what you think … Frank
