Brent Photoshop Never Ending Challenge: Mount Riggsmore

Photoshop Challenge for Brent: turn Mount Rushmore into Mount Riggsmore

Actually, I (Brent) didn't have to fake this photograph believe it or not. Work on the real Mount Riggsmore was recently completed.

Just today, we visited the monument for pictures. Michelle is behind the camera with the kids as I braved the high climb to the top. As proof of our presence there, you can actually see me over to the right, high up, on top of Garrett's head.

The monument took a very long time (almost a couple of hours :)) to carve out of the side of a rasterized cliff virtually identical to the famous original inspiration. We were thrilled to be the American bloggers that were chosen for the new national landmark. Blogging has become such a pasttime, the National Institute for American Historical Landmarks decided to create a lasting tribute for posterity. Needless to say, we were shocked that we were chosen from the nearly 12.5 million entries sent in.

We hope you'll visit Mount Riggsmore soon in the Lotsabytes National Park. We left a hammer and chisel at the base for you to leave us a comment. (We'll chip off any mean commments.)
