Title: Bannack's Down Fall

I edited these images in Adobe Photoshop CS5. I first edited the Bottles image and boosted up the saturation to bring out more of the vibrant colors of the bottles, then I placed the Stains image on top of it and turned the opacity down so you could just barely see it over the other image. I thought that this gave a nice interpretation of just how rough Bannack used to be. Many gun fights and violence broke out because of alcohol consumed by the gold miners in the small town. I just thought that I would try to portray that a little with the bottles in the front of some of the buildings and stains on it to give a more rustic feel.
