Since I have a fairly large collection of old photos from family and some lonely ones I adopted from flea markets, I am no longer allowed to get more. This will show a step-by-step process on one of my favorite adoptee photos that I named Katherine.

I love this original old photo, as is. But the lovely thing about the computer, I can add and play with it without damaging the original. So I can play. I started by adding three dissimilar layers.

               after many auditions at each level, I decided on this ...

"Katherine": old photo, junk papers, digital collage.

   Katie Newhouser is a UPS driver in Rancho Cucamonga, California, and whenever she pulled up to the apartment where Leo the Pit bull lived, he would always start barking and say hello as she pulled into the condo complex and then jump into her truck when she stopped.

But then she heard some sad news. Leo's human had passed away.

Katie had just returned from vacation when she learned the news. She decided to approach the woman's son, who is a Marine (and couldn’t give Leo a home), and offered to foster Leo. He agreed and when she brought him home to meet her other dogs, they hit it off so well that she decided to make the arrangement permanent.

It was a bit confusing for Leo at first, but he adjusted quickly. He has become especially close with his brother Moose, and the two are now inseparable. Although his sister Bailey took a bit longer to warm up to him, they’ve since started playing together, and Katie says that once Leo joined the household, the entire atmosphere of the home changed.

She says that when she first brought Leo home he would whine and be a little bit sad, but he has gradually become one of the family and is happy with them.

Sometimes, the bonds we form in the smallest, everyday moments turn into something life-changing, like giving a dog who lost everything a second chance at love, and a home where he truly belongs.
