Where's photoshop when you need it?

I've taken a lot of photos lately but I seriously need photoshop soon! I'm all about tweaking the colours, plus usually the files are huge and I can't use them. I heard it costs like $700 bucks. Maybe I don't need it that much...anyone know anything about it?

Here's a photo I took about 2 weeks ago. The sakura is so pretty! I met an old lady while I was taking the photos, and she seemed to think I was in University...I'm not that old yet. I actually saw her on the bus yesterday.

Here goes nothin'

For anyone who has tried to start a blog, can i mention how difficult it is to come up with a name? Not only do you need a URL, you need a title as well. My titled came from my love of, well, polaroids! I love the quality of them, yet i have never owned that kind of camera, thoughm I've heard they've stopped making them anymore. Anyway, these are a few pics to get started, which inspired my URL/title, from Stylemob. Thanks to users tootly, Laura and kelly. I hope they don't mind!
