This is a project of testing how to construct an image bit by bit, adding a layer after another, every now and then. I will "abuse" PicMonkey textures tool and Ipernity feature to replace old version with new ones, to add elements into the picture. Do notice your possible comments will assess an unfinished work ;-) EDIT 20140830: Empty canvas uploaded. EDIT 20140901: Silhouette of an amateur photographer added. EDIT 20160908: Sunset texture and PicMonkey 'Intrepid' effect added.
