My volunteer job (as digital retouch artist for Now I lay Me Down to Sleep) is to soften some pretty harsh images so they become comforting images. Occasionally, even though I'm pretty good at rebuilding images, I can't get the impact I want with rebuilding techniques - so I shift to artistic ones (like this one). My other volunteer gig is for the high school drama club - those are straight photography (corrected for color and cropped).
