On the Way to Town Yesterday

Moving car ... color ... a moment of joy! Although not technically perfect, I love this splash of color and movement...an "impressionistic" snapshot while on the go.

Grrrrrrrrrrrr....I hate being in pain...thank goodness for brilliant color suprises. Made my day!

Flea Market Find

Last Saturday, the same day I found "the hat," I stumbled across this Raku pottery piece. Years ago I had wanted to own some Raku, but at that time, they were very expensive sitting in art shows, or on gallery shelves. Now thirty years later, Raku emerges again.

New/Old Hat--Spooky Pic

Found this hat at a flea market today...what a hoot! I love it. Took pic using camera in netbook and it was so bizarre I decided to post it. Don't know how long before I delete it. Have been taking a series of spooky pics and this one fits right in with the rest.

It has been a while since I have entered anything in black and white and...I have missed sharing monochrome images. So...here we go again.

STRAW HAT


Took this image to show the effect of shadows on an object and as an example of how some objects evoke nostalgia.

Comparisons

I love to play with images and compare results. The top image was taken with my iPhone and worked on a bit in Photoshop. The bottom image was taken with a Nikon D-300 with only slight adjustments in Photoshop. Took these images to show the effect of shadows on an object and as an example of how some objects evoke nostalgia.


Personal preference, point of view and mood make choosing the "best" difficult.

A Bit of Philosophy


Life is like a butterscotch sundae...
Yummy!

And...

If it gets sticky, take a shower.
