The big question is:
What to do? Not just what does a person want to do, but what CAN one do? Big difference between those two things! Dreaming is easy. Reality...not so simple.

Image Compression Problems
Am having image compression problems and am trying to figure out what is going awry. Darn...I haven't been faced with a challenge of this magnitude in a while. Am determined to resolve this situation.
I reposted the Onions (from earlier this week) and compared the two images. One step in post production may need to be discarded and not ever used in the future.
This challenge brings back rule #1: Get it right in the camera!!!!

Techie Challenges and Change
Yesterday and today have been challenging. The reason is: I changed something and messed up. Change usually is a good thing, yet occasionally it isn't. So, when change throws you a curve, the only thing to do is correct the mistake.
The same is true with your craft. If something isn't the way you want, go back and do it again and if necessary, again.
Knowing your equipment and materials is crucial. Practice. You have to know what you are doing to do it well. What happens, over time, is the knowledge is absorbed and becomes part of you. Then, creativity is free to play and experiment.
Today my Photography Muse is on vacation. She so enjoyed our vacation, she may still be in Pennsylvania. To encourage her return, I will play with photography, painting, pasteup and alter some of my images dramatically.
Suggestion: Play with your craft today. Do something fun.
P.S. Will post altered images later should anything spectacular show up!

"There is no failure except in no longer trying." ~ Elbert Hubbard
Here's the deal: If there is something you want to do, something you love doing, then do it. Your unique, individual "style" will emerge. A secret: Follow where your interests take you--your path. Don't do for others...do for you. Experiment. Challenge yourself. Pay no attention to what is "in." What is "in" may soon be "out."
