Flowers and bunnies… the only real cure for a pandemic…

a 1

To be honest, I brought my good camera to work the other day, and I want to see how some of the photos stack up against the ones I take with my phone. That one is the good camera.

a 2

Phone.

a 3

Phone.

a 4

Phone.

I can’t really tell the difference, which is either impressive for the phone, or depressing for the camera.

a 5

The rest of these were taken with my camera.

a 6

I am sure that photos of flowers in bright sunlight are not a fair test of the quality of the camera.

a 7

Action bunny!

a 8

I posted some bunny pictures recently that I took with my phone.

a 9

I think the camera with the telephoto lens does a better job with bunnies.

a 10

You can see the veins in her ears!

a 11

Hungry bunny! This one is my favorite. She hangs out near where I go outside to vape on my breaks. I have been talking to her, and she is so used to me now that I can get almost close enough to pet her.

a 12

I think she likes me.

Leaves…

a 1 copy 2

I’m not sure if these came out as cool as I thought they would.

a 1

So I did a couple other things.

a 1 copy 4

Just to entertain you.

a 1 copy 3

That is the original image.

If you didn’t notice anything strange about this photo…

a 5 copy 2

Then maybe…

a 5 copy 3

Just maybe…

a 5 copy 4

You have been smoking some of the stuff in these pictures… HA.

And no, I am not going to add the original, un-mirror-imaged photo. Also, it it is legal now, do we still call it a drug???

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 7…

 

What is enough?

a 1

What is too much?

a 2

When is art finished?

a 3

How can you tell when it is done?

a 4

Less can be more…

a 5

More isn’t always better. A song is as much about the silences, the pauses, the single note you picked as opposed to the 5,000 you didn’t.

a 6

Art is funny that way.

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 6…

a 6 copy 2

It’s not even a bridge anymore.

a 6 copy 3

Nope, still not a bridge.

a 6 copy 4

2 bridges? 4 bridges?

a 6 copy

I’m just trying to find the bridge… where’s that confounded bridge?

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 5…

a 5 copy 2

Ironically, a straight-on side shot of a bridge is the most boring kind of photo to work with when doing mirror images. It just looks like a reflection.

a 5 copy

However, if you flip it the other way, it still looks like a reflection, but not one that makes sense to your eyes. It is much more arty. Artsy? Artsie?

a 5 copy 3

Moving side to side rather than up and down, you have the same problem. Yes, a very first-world problem, but still…

a 5 copy 4

Anyway, this is why I looked for images of bridges that were taken from weird angles.

a 5

But it is a nice bridge.

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 4…

a 4 copy

The thing about… hey, thing, long time no see… these mirror image pictures is deciding where to cut it, copy it, and paste it back together.

a 4 copy 2

And do you move the original half to the right, or the left?

a 4 copy 4

There is also up and down to consider… an once you have a mirror image, do you then mirror that?

a 4 copy 3

And if so, in what direction, and how many times?

a 4

You never know how they will turn out, and you can always do more. Art!

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 3…

a 3 copy

Why am I doing mirror images of famous bridges?

a 3 copy 2

Because I can.

a 3 copy 3

I am making fancier art out of art.

a 3 copy 4

I think the real question is: why aren’t you doing this? Despite what Shakespeare might have to say on the subject of important questions… which reminds me, have you listened to my podcast episode where me and Jimmy the crack squirrel that lives inside my head interview William Shakespeare. You should… available for free at Pouring MY Art Out, almost anywhere quality podcasts are given away for free.

Mirror mirror off the wall… part 2…

a 2 copy 4

I have decided to not even mention the name of the bridges I use in these posts.

a 2 copy 3

So now it is a geography test, a way to see how well you know the world.

a 2 copy 2

Hey, I am just trying to entertain you during the pandemic. You could also try listening to the podcast.

a 2 copy

I will try not to get too carried away with this series… but you know how I am…

a 2

Okay, see you soon.
