a simple swipe of a paintbrush full of paint. an unplanned piece of art. one tiny piece of the wall.

out-of-focus #16

& also in celebration flare friday. haven’t celebrated for a while…

love pop art. love to take photos of pop art. love thursday.

the last time i photographed this love sculpture, i came home and turned up the saturation in colors, made them really pop (go here to see for yourself). this time, i went the other way. love the feel of it.

in honor of love thursday… here is a little link love of photo things i’ve been lovin’ lately…

**this photo class. the final project is due this weekend. i’ve been holding onto my photos for a couple weeks now, just looking forward to sharing them :) i think you will love them too!

**lens.us.together — have you been over to check it out? it’s a new blog as of last weekend, a collaboration put together by inspiring women who called on others to join (including myself). this is only our first week, and i’ve been loving the posts that have been added. i can’t wait to get out either tomorrow or this weekend to get my photo. gotta have it up by sunday, not sure how i’ll capture where i live…

** ida’s new shop… my favorite day at her blog is always thursday. on thursdays she shares photos she has taken with her yashica camera from the 70’s. she’s taken her photos and turned them into postcards! you must look! how amazing would it be to receive a postcard like hers? ooo and if you go over to her blog, you can check out her giveaway!!!

**a flickr fave… perfect addition to love thursday.

**coney island photos. i was going to save this link for when i share my photos from my trip to coney island last weekend, but i just can’t wait. you must go see them. m. heart captures coney island in the most perfect way… and i love them all, i cannot even find a favorite!

i’m starting to notice how i repeat the same steps as i process photos through. i have a few different styles i’ve been repeating lately. starting to get a feel for how i like to create my photos with processing (at least what i like for now… i’m sure i’ll change my mind again soon… it’s just a part of growing and learning i guess.)

earlier this summer, i saw this a, standing out for me to capture. i thought i’d start collecting letters, but soon forgot… until today, when i found it in my file and remembered. i’ve also started collecting some numbers too. not sure what i will do with them… but it’s fun looking for numbers in unique ways… even the trash from a straw that forms a 3 on the cement is photographed.
