Fun with ballet pointe shoes. It’s summertime and the living is easy but also hot and humid. This has led to some still live indoor photos because AC and indoor plumbing is the best! I should say I’m not a fan of ballet but I am a fan of ballet-related art/photos. This might be dueContinue reading “Black, White, and Red All Over”

Retro Technicolor
A childhood throwback, a brightly colored carousel. Walking around Tours while on vacation in France, and saw this technicolor memory. I then used PhotoShop filters to create artwork. The scenes around the top of the carousel reminded me of the 1st Marry Poppins movie when Bert is drawing on the sidewalk. The title comes fromContinue reading “Retro Technicolor”

They’re Great

Popcorn Seeds
Forced Creativity part 66 I have a silicone bowl and lid to pop my popcorn, which lets me decide how much popcorn I get and cuts out the greasy oil.

A Rose by any other name.
It’s Valentine’s Day so of course, I played around with roses. I purchased a rainbow bouquet, cut off the blooms, and used blue tac to stick the blossom upright on the pink background. Then I took some extreme closeup shots of each rose then used the premade filters in photoshop camera raw to create theContinue reading “A Rose by any other name.”
Don’t Touch My Tomatoes
If you are allergic, don’t like, or shouldn’t eat tomatoes, and miss that yummy spaghetti sauce, don’t worry I have good news for you. Buy some fire-roasted bell peppers, or make them if you have the time, put them in the blender and viola spaghetti sauce. Just add spices and garlic and you don’t noticeContinue reading “Don’t Touch My Tomatoes”
I love the nightlight, I like to boogie
Forced Creativity part 99. For this photo, I purchased small mason jars with a handle and brightly colored LED lights. I wanted for the nightfall, got out my tripod, and took these photos from my balcony. The orange bokken lights in the background are lights from the apartment building across from me. Focusing on theContinue reading “I love the nightlight, I like to boogie”

The above is a color splash, color highlight, color point, or emphasize color photo. This means only one color is visible, and the rest of the image is in black and white.Continue reading “Red Roof Church”

Note that the Bison is giving me the side-eye as if to say I know what you’re doing. Below are the images generated using different art styles in FotorContinue reading “Painted Bison”
