I take too many photos on my walks, then I must decide what to keep and what to manipulate. A bit of a chore, with some pleasure, some frustration, and a good deal of tedium. But sometimes my art just takes the form of photography and arrangements!

Above are one photo of light and shadow, further abstracted and manipulated, and two photos of minor rearrangements made at the beach.

Above is a photo of Ocean Spray, and the manipulated “foiled” version of the same image.

Again at the beach: a wonderfully veined green rock! I love this photo, but still just had to play with it for various effects. I made my arrangement, photographed it, and took both the photo and rock home with me. Sometimes that is what happens with photography and arrangements!

Sometimes only the most minimal enhancements are required! Sometimes the foil is better, sometimes not! My window arrangement of art and artifacts changes, but for my own amusement rather than with photos in mind. But the light, or the plants outside, can get me running for the camera to captured my arrangement with photography!

You can find more of my photos, simple and enhanced, on my Facebook Page.
