My program of choice last night--Preview. Which is one of the basic Mac programs. It's actually wonderful. You can open up all sorts of different types of files. Pictures, video, music, pdfs...lots of stuff. What's nice about the pictures is that it does allow for basic photo manipulation. So I started playing. I don't know that I could ever exactly replicate what I did below. A little bit of this, a little bit of that, doing things in a specific order... And, voilà! You come up with something different! Enjoy...
I've decided to suspend the Mystery Guests here for a little bit. Not something I really want to do, and I know that you guys enjoy them. But it's just gotten to be a bit too much work to line them up each week. In days gone by, I would have 5 or 6 individuals sitting in my MG folder, awaiting their turn. I actually had to draw a name out of a hat some weeks because I received pictures from numerous MG hopefuls. Over the past year, however, I've found that I've had to request people to be the MG. Perhaps that's my fault, for not getting the word out that anyone can be the MG. No one has ever been turned away. And I do use repeat MGs. Most recently, I've had to resort to calling upon friends whom I know will always want to help out. It's just not worth the effort to me right now.
If you guys feel differently, then don't be shy! If you want to be the MG, just email me. If you don't really care one way or the other, then it might become an occasional thing.
A surprising thing happened this week for "...the Other HNT". Out of the blue, we've got 4 newbies involved! And in a definitely NSFW manner! I swear, you guys must call each other during the week! Anyway, head over to check everyone out, and leave some comments! Your fellow HNTers are certainly worthy!

Nice effect on your pic. The white eyes look kinda evil ;)
Too bad for the MGs, but if it's so much work, I understand. Perhaps people will keep sending you their pictures so you can build a reserve for when you want to start again...
I'm up!

Oh now see, I LOVE that pic. Very....suspensful-ish. Yes I just made that up ;)
Shame about MG, maybe now pple will start beating down your door to volunteer. :)
I'm up! xo
I'm up with an experimental language post... or at least a play on words: dressers and drawers.
Happy HNT, Osbasso.

This is a great effect on your HNT, the eyes are so wild.
Love it!

I love The Other HNTs as much as the next guy, but this is supposed to be fun, not a chore.
I think it's time to let the "others" come to you. If there aren't any pics one week, that's fine. If there are, even better. But you do too much and shouldn't feel bad.
BTW, I'm up too.
Sorry to hear you are in a funk. Hope you are feeling better soon.
Great picture!!
That pic of you really captivates the imagination. Both spooky and wise.
That's a drag about the MG thing, but I understand. I hope you get out of your funk soon.
My HNT is up. I'm in the tub again.
Cool pic, Os! And check your email.
We're up and doing what we can to keep warm... :-)
Happy HNT!
xo
-d.
We are up at Married In Ohio.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Haiti.
Happy HNT! I love the effects you used. =P I love to play around with that kind of thing myself!
I'll study on the MG thing. I might can take a couple of pics you can use.
Your pic is cool too the effect is cool.
Mines up!!
oooh, I really dig the way that came out! I'm a big fan of opening up your preferred photo fixer and just playing a shot to see what happens. I've gotten some of my favorite images that way. *hugs* I hope you break out of that funk soon, Os. It sucks when the world just seems kinda blah, and inspiration seems to be running screaming into the hills.
I'm up, and in a story-telling mood. ^_^
i'm up
fantastic pic, os, wavy gravy!
thoughts and prayers to everyone in haiti
peace
<3 to Haiti
And I'm Up.
*Hugs*
O's that sounds all sorts of crappy.
And sorry about the MG thing.
But that picture you did is pretty cool, love the effects you did!
Well I'm up it's more humorous than sexy but look if you want :)
My HNT is up!

Boo to colds and funks! But as for your picture, Well done! And I know what you mean about lacking in inspiration. In my experience, inspiration tends to come from places you least expect it to.
I am up!

Such a cool pic, Osbasso!
I am up.
peace...
I like playing around with different effects from programmes....very cool shot.
I'm up

No offence Os, but that's kind of a scary pic!
I'm up :)
xxxx
Cool effects on your picture.
Bummer about the MG thing. Maybe I'll try and send something to you soon. I think if you did it once in a while it would still be cool. Maybe even better because then it would be a little something extra to look forward to.
Sorry you're still not feeling better! What a bummer.
hey! my post is up. i composed it, then headed right to bed. i've gotta plan on late wednesday nights so i can see everyone's posts, but alas, it's been busy and i get up oh-so early in the morning. :)
i've been feeling somewhat uninspired as well Os. I do LOVE your picture. such a cool effect! i'm hoping the MG pics come rolling in for you as well. it really is fun to guess them.
happy hnt and happy thursday!
I have a colds here as well - hope we both feel better soon.
I'm up!
Too bad about MG- I bet now you'll get more submissions than you can handle!
Cool pic, I like the effect!
I'm up, with a little help from Veronica.

Sorry to hear about the mystery guests. Hopefully folks will send you some shots soon.
I'm up. Happy HNT.
That is a totally cool picture. Your cold has helped your creativity.
I'm up with a "going green" HNT.
Hello I am up.
I hope you pull out of your funk soon but until then, there is nothing wrong with taking a break from things that are extra work. Take care
It makes you look very mysterious, all eyes and beard. Hope you feel better soon. Im Up x
I like the picure effect. I sure hope you pull yourself out of the funk, because you have a nice smile.
I'm up!
You look a wee bit scary in that picture!
I'm up!
I'm down for the count with a head cold, but I'm up for HNT.

That's a very interesting effect!

Mine is up for today. http://kallieegrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/hnt-4.html
I'm up.
You look so...literary, somehow, in that HNT!
I'd love to be an MG some time...I always thought you chose them yourself and wondered what I might have to do to get a turn at it someday. ;-) If you ever decide to start them up again, please feel free to hit me up if need one.
I'm up (late, I know!) on Pieces of Jade-but it's not for the needle-squeamish!

HHNT!
You're a vampire, aren't you? Admit it! Only Vamps have white irises! Or completely black eyes, but, ya know...
I'm up. Early afternoon posting, but I am there! :-)
I'm back, baby!
I'm back, baby!
I'm up too!
Pink twine plus Mr.Rawr's serious bondage skills... equals much sexyness!
Being new to this & your blog I need to go back and read up to fully understand how the mystery guests work.
In the meantime, here is my HNT boobie flash:

Oooh-oooh I'm finally playing again! ;)

This is a great shot - I love the black and white! Love!
PS: I am up - belatedly telling you about it though...
Great shot Os... and thanks for the shout-out!
It's too bad about the MG... maybe it can become a once a month thing? I guess I kind of thought it was an invitation thing.... I'd definitely be up for taking another turn!!
Off to check out OHNT!
