It's the last day of the #aepiecesofus challenge & today's prompt is Reflection. This #selfportrait was taken with my cellphone looking through the mirror of my antique Kodak Duaflex II camera into our bathroom mirror. Usually I combine this handmade contraption with my Canon digital SLR camera & was pleased to discover it works with the cellphone camera too. TTV photography (Google it!) adds texture & grunge effects to your photographs without the need for filters & creates square format images & I love how it adds a new perspective to ordinary subjects & life! Scroll through to see the camera & well used cardboard & black tape contraption I made for this photography technique.
Feeling like I have another (yes, another, don't we all have multiple?) super power after receiving vaccine #2! Today's #aepiecesofus prompt is Full Body, & here I am, April 2021, wearing a pair of boots, 'cause wet, muddy Oregon, Carhartt jeans 'cause POCKETS, bandana for warmth & added mask protection, mask 'cause COVID, sleeveless (jacket is inside) 'cause shot appointment, & hat 'cause glasses (keeps sun & rain off while walking to appointment). Feeling hopeful! ❤❤❤❤
Playing with filters again for today's #aepiecesofus pic. It' all about the 1/2 Face self portrait today. Here I'm admiring our metal sculpture crow we purchased while on our "24 States in 27 Days" road trip. If you'd like to see what that was all about you can Google using quotes the title of the blog posts just like I wrote above. The writing started 12/19/2012 - yes almost 10 years ago... drove from Oregon to Manhattan, days before hurricane Sandy arrived... trip of a lifetime---Can't wait until it's safe to travel again!
Dreaming of poppies! Can you guess what today's #aepiecesofus prompt is? In another month, the red poppies in our backyard will be dragging me out of my studio demanding I try & capture their intense red which I love with a fiery passion! Oh, & the prompt is "Eyes Closed" if you haven't already figured that out... 😌
