Maybe I’m throwing too many pics at you all at once but…
This one was the result of fooling around one day with Photoshop filters and contrast. I guess the only knock I have on this one is that people who see it tend to think Mich looks stressed in it - like she has a headache or something. That wasn’t the idea. Oh well.
This is Tod. He is uncomfortable having his likeness anywhere on the internet.
This may be why.
I’ve been going through some pics from our travels over the last few years. Came across this one of of an old lady we saw on the seaside at Qing Dao (where they made Tsing Tao beer - which is actually pronounced Ching Dow). She had the most amazing face, as you can see, and I just had to capture it on film.
I while ago I mentioned the Photo Geeks, a loose little group of fellows who like to take pics and from whom I learned a lot about photography. At the time of that post I planned to post more pictures that were taken on our outings or inspired by the group. Haven’t really done much of that though. Hmmm. In this digital day and age we seem to be forgetting our pics that are film based. Anyway, I just got a scanner and have it up and going now. Mich and I have been enjoying looking through old shots that we feel are worth scanning into the digital realm so we can share them with you. Above is the first. He was a pleasant old pilgram we encountered in front of the Jokhang in the heart of Lhasa, Tibet. He happily posed for me and a gave him a bit of cash toward his pilgramage for his trouble. Anyway, by putting these pics out there and trying to pass them off as art, I guess I’m opening up to the critical eye too. So yes, please, I invite your comments!
