This has to be an old building. Open windows without restrictions from someone trying a swan dive.

Misery Loves Company

This poor car seems to belong here.

It has been a great month for project posts! Keep it up! It's fun to see everybody's interpretation of the project idea.

Any ideas for our March project?

Nice! Not about the misery of course.. the clever interpretation. Null case, check. At least it's not winter. (that happened to my mom's car in winter, in Manitoba. it was not fun.)

Great capture of a theme. Only thing to make this better would be the car having two tone paint.

Coffee on Third Street

It was a rainy day yesterday, which is a good day to have a coffee, check out FPCF, and watch the world go by outside the window. :)

Yay, thanks for taking us all out for coffee Warren! ;)

Anyone interested in forced perspective? Like the leaning tower of pisa classic tourist pictures... Only we can try the ideas out wherever we are and don't have to be in Italy. Although.. it would work very nicely there too. Here's a link to some great examples: http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/force-perspective-photos/

I'm up for forced perspectives. I took some of them while we were in Europe a couple of years ago.

I think it's great that the photo shop is directly across the street.

When you say single images, do you mean one per post, or non-composite?

My personal preference is for non-composite. It should be an exercise in "seeing" vs. post-processing, in my opinion.

Cactus Looking At Art

Panasonic DX

On Valentines Day we went to the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale, a summer home for a famous painter during the 1930s.  I found this little cactus holding open the shutter to get a look at some of the pictures.

Red and Yellow

I added some blur to the top and bottom to lessen the impact of all this glass. The two colours, red and yellow, seem to help focus away from it all too. Or maybe it's the other way.. The glass and reflections help frame these two unreflective coloured cubes.

I think it's the other way... The colored cubes are framed by the glass and reflections. :)

On Denman

I was out to see the shadows and light on an afternoon. I liked the shapes of pedestrians reaching out from the sidewalk and into the quiet alley. At first I noticed my own, and stepped off to the side to take a few shots of others walking by.

Mind-mending. It feels futuristic with those "telling" screens, and reality overlapping with itself many times and manipulating its own scale. I love miniature people, and the woman walking out of the scene... Just so funny somehow.... All that confusion and change.. She is exiting asap. The expressions are great.
