My Photoshopography Video

Before you post that next photo of yourself with that zit on your nose or that muffin-top hanging over your belt, send it to me for a quickkie touch-up!  The quality is designed so you can make prints with the product.
 
Drop me a D.A. Note or send a small file of your art work to AndySerrano@AndySerrano.com for an estimate.  You can then send me the full-size art work via Drop Box.  Payment is in D.A. Points.

This is very affordable.  

I am now actively promoting my Photoshop skills.  I will be experimenting with making promotional videos and any good ideas on promoting them would be highly welcome with a free touch-up or discount on a manipulation!

Hovering Sit-up
:thumb449828751:
In this sit-up, when you lower yourself down, you stop before your torso reaches the floor then pull yourself back up. Each stage of the sit-up should be controlled. Never drop yourself to the floor and never jerk yourself up. I'm 61. It's never too late!


Ex-Co-Workers at UCLA
UCLA
These were my co-workers at UCLA when I worked in Radiation Therapy on the Neutron beam project back around 1985. As you can see, I have always enjoyed working with lots of women. ha ha. The one I have my hand on was the Oncologist we all worked for. The one on the bottom on my left was our nurse.

Father and Sister A Long Time Ago
Father and Sister
This is my father, whose name was also Andrew, and my sister, Lupe, and me, Andy, at Lake Piru. The photo was taken around 1959. At that time, you could only get there over an extremely rocky dirt road.



Pancho Villa Revolutionary
Pancho Villa
On many of my family's walls and in restaurants in Texas and New Mexico, there hang tributes to Pancho Villa. Villa and his supporters seized hacienda land for distribution to peasants and soldiers. He robbed and commandeered trains and, like the other revolutionary generals. At that time, the Catholic church owned vast tracts of land and exploited the peasants and kept them from having an education. Pancho Villa broke the back of the Catholic church at that time. It is no wonder that when my mother dragged my father to church and the priest told him he would go to Hell for not going to church, my father told him, "I'll meet you there since you have your hand in the collection plate."


Andy and Karen
Karen Andy
Andy and Karen: When I was teaching Science around 1996, Karen was another science teacher. We came to appreciate each others' warped sense of humor. She liked to mess with people's minds just like I did. If we'd go to lunch she would tell the waiter, "Ah like sum crawdads n grits n hawg feet." One time she told the principal, "Dem kids would behave a lot better ifen we shot one of them every month in the courtyard." Eventually, she had to move away because her Vietnam vet husband was jealous of the fact that I could make her laugh.

Awesome and inspiring

"What does he get in return for doing this every day?
He gets nothing. He won't be richer. He won't appear on TV. Still anonymous. And not a bit more famous.
What he does receive are emotions. He witness happiness. Reaches a deeper understanding. Feels the love. Receives what money can't buy and a world made more beautiful."


Fourth of July 1960
July
This is myself, Andy Serrano, with the flag, and a neighbor, Joey on the Fourth of July (USA Independence Day) around 1959-60. I was about 6 years old.

Not Just One Universe: An infinite number of universes with no beginning
Universe
The cosmologist, Andrei Linde, talks about his reaction to news that evidence had been found at the BICEP2 radio-telescope at the South Pole to support his theory of cosmic inflation. Asked whether the multiverse theory could be proved within his lifetime, he replied. “Can you really prove that it is just universe?” he asks. “Why would you think the concept of universe is more natural? Why should multiplicity be forbidden? The insistence that we have just one universe has to be proved.” Source: www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/2/9a3062…

Andy War on Muffintop

This is my war on muffintop.  I know it's working because people come up to me and compliment me on my goal of getting fine abs.


Why I love Zumba

I lost 25 pounds of weight over two years while exercising with Zumba classes.
Yes, I know I look silly, but I'm having fun.  
And, hey, I'm 60 years old.

Sory for commenting a tad late here, but I wanted to read your journal carefully ^^ :huggle: It's great that you're selling your photoshop skills, I don't know any tips for promotions (I can't even promote my own drawings :XD:)  but if I see someone  looking for a photoshop-ist I'll surely let them know.  I love your new closet dolls, my closet needs doors right  now :XD: and wow! your  exercise routines are amazing! I've heard that people in Los Angeles make a lot of exercise.

Your sister is called Lupe? as in Lupita? I can see through this journal that you have a relation with Mexico, or with Mexican history :D  Indeed,the Church in the 19th and  early 20th century was a terrible institution for Mexico, delaying the progress. Benito Juarez is one of the  most important heroes for separating the state and the church. And you're gonna love  this  fact ^^ one of my great grand grandmas met Pancho Villa, and fought in the Division del Norte as an "adelita" she was from Durango like Villa.

I loved the video of the gentleman, it's so cute! specially the girl that gets to go to school, and your recipes must be delicious!
Thanks  again for the feature Mr Serrano, you're always  very kind, and have a great day! :huggle:
