At a recent art exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane, Australia, I came across my own Contemporary Woman sitting in one  of the rooms. I took these photos and had a play with a dark and moody look to see if I could capture the essence of a sixteen year old girl.

I also sent one to my resident Photoshop guru to have a play with and he zapped a gorgeous version back in about 10 minutes flat.

Ever take a photo that:

1. you nearly had it right;
2. you wish you had more time to stop and set it up a bit neater;
3. figure it was close,  but no cigar; and
4. haven’t got the heart to hit the delete key?

Well, nearly every one of my photos fits category (D) and I have thousands of snaps which really should be ground down into a series of ones and noughts.

Today’s photo is one of those. It’s a quite unremarkable photo but I thought it could be spiced up with a bit of cropping. Let me know what you think. It’s over here or click on the thumbnail below.

Monday’s Friday photo

Better late than never. I have added a second Canberra photo for the Friday photo last week. And yes, I know it is Monday but sometimes I run a little behind. Jump over to the Canberra page here for a look.

Canberra is a great place for photographing statues, monuments and people. Last December a family birthday took me there and this Friday’s photo was one of the great memories I bought back. Hope you like it. Click here to see the photo.

My niece is on a trip around the globe before settling into some reality. She writes beautifully about her time in the land of her ancestors, Cyprus, and her experiences as a twenty-something travelling solo. I am reblogging this one piece but encourage you to read her other writings. They are powerful, funny and very insightful.

A friend of mine has started posting her favourite photo for the week.  I am now shamelessly stealing the idea and posting on of my own each Friday – well, that is the intent. I hope to show photo’s warts and all – no post-processing, no tweaking, just straight out of the camera. Feel free to post your own pics or make helpful suggestions as to how you think I could improve the image at the time it is being taken.
