I love textures.
But this time I'm not talking about
the kind you add via Photoshop,
although those are certainly lovely
in their own right.
in their own right.
No, I'm talking about the delightful, dizzying array
of textures to be found
during a stroll through
of textures to be found
during a stroll through
rusty old film reels
a well -used butcher's block
industrial gears
vintage signs both domestic...
and international
and a much loved, peely chest...
These are the textures
that make my knees weak.
I have found myself falling more and more
in love with being a photographer in recent
months.
It's a joy that makes me giddy and content,
as I feel a fulfillment and inspiration
which comes from doing something
one truly loves.
Thank you for letting me share a little
of my love with you.

you've been readn' my mail again ...!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Anne ! Your art is showing !
ReplyDeleteI love those old signs and I love the chest! I have an old chest, looks like a pirates chest but it is ancient! When I was a teen I lined it with white wallpaper with a tiny lavender flower print! I need to drag it out of the garage! I need to finish cleaning my garage! Ha Ha!
