Colorizing an Image

This was pretty easy and fun to do. I chose to use two pictures I took for a photography project in High School. The person in the picture is me and the pictures were both taken the same night in Downtown San Jose. I also used a graffiti "The Truth" just because I wanted to add something to that wall.

I fist cut myself out of the bus stop photo and placed that image onto the hallway image. Next I converted both images to gray scale. The hardest part was cutting out the graffiti in this picture.
I decided to use 2 colors, blue for my seated picture to convey some sort of sadness, and an off orange for the hallway to convey a little more warmth. I also lens blurred the background to give some depth.
