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.

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.

Crawley Edge Boatshed

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.

Crawley Edge Boatshed can be found by clicking here or by using the tabs at the top of this page.

PS: If you want to see my friends pics, she is over at Oppsiemumma.
