Old & Young Love



Love 

27/4/2017 taken at 11am 






                                              Old and young hands together
                                              I actually took this photo
                                             then opened up tone in my
                                             camera ph (usually Effects )
                                             by changing the amount of light
                                             I was able to darken our hands
                                            and then placed a red heart over the
                                            photo with the drawing option
                                   
                                            Inspiration I loved the way our hands met
                                             so gently but so strong with lots of love
                                              once grown up hands change so much

                                           Inspiration was Mothers Day then
                                              it turned to Grandparent for me

                                            Link hands

love between human and animal



                                                       Sketch

                                           27/4/2017 taken at 6pm


                       
                                          have always wanted to be a artist that could
                                   draw my own images doubt if it will ever happen
                                              but lucky for me my camera ph has
                                            a special effect that makes my photos
                                                          look like a sketch

                                                     Inspiration came to me
                                                        because more photos
                                                    I found on the net where of                                      
                                                people and children feed or hands
                                             Standing up the other night my feet met
                                                   some paws as I looked down
                                             it dawned on me both sets had done a
                                                   lot of walking over a lifetime
                                                   captured it as we where both
                                                       still at the same time

                                     

                                 link I found that inspired me photos of feet

pic with vintage effect



 image taken 26/4/2017 at 7.44pm 

Working on my digital Journal 
sitting with my keyboard in front of me 
I stopped for a break and there was 
a photo opportunity , taken with
 my ph and edited in my phone program 
Vintage effect 

inspiration for this pic was I liked the fact you 
can put something down and it tells people about 
you I actually googled Glasses on keyboard 
lots of photos popped up even though 
it was a photo opportunity it was good 
looking on the web to see what other people
had done 

inspirtation link  Glasses on Keyboard

come on a photo journey

I have set myself a challenge of taking some sort of pic every day and by the end of week or 2 have a digital Journey of photos that says something about myself or family life and home town

todays pic 26/4/2017


                        man’s best friend she is now 7 but always by my side , 
                             I captured the photo with my hand around her 
                                face as she is aging her hair is turning grey ,
                           watching the fire start , my hand and fingers curved 
                                 round her lets your eyes focus on her face line 

                                Pinterest is a great place to spend time searching and looking 

                                          inspirtaion came from here Dog Photos

                                           our dog was so still and peaceful
                                   I decided not to move her but framed her
                                         where she was sitting on the floor

I have been working on Photo Story for Uni unit 

I needed to do a Essay of 200 words for this as well 
enjoy reading my work that goes with my video 

              Colours are beautiful memories
Beautiful Day time to visit my friends Bed and Breakfast Garden, full of colours which take me home and brings me close to my friend.
Blue creates a smile as it’s so cheerful and when I see a parrot it gives the feel of freedom playing above in the green canopy.
Purple a magical colour takes me to Queensland where my friend lives. Strong colourful person whom has been there in so many ways for me.
White brings a bright feeling of happy days of being refreshed. Sliver moon brightly shinning gives me hope Mum is looking down on me and will never leave me.
Natural soft wood colour always brought Mum and I together she loved the country. Told me not to change my natural personally or my happy go lucky approach to life.
 Colours are bright to the eye and mind giving hope of happy days and in time for healing. Colours are all round me when I see the beauty of flowers, trees, birds and nature it reminds me of my Mum and beautiful friend. Colours are beautiful and my Mum loved flowers because they were pretty. My friend is beautiful like nature.
