A few of my favorite things....Explored July 3, 2020
CHEF dsm8954 says, "Many folks are very concerned about the future with all that is currently going on. If we could, it might be a good idea to freeze time to take stock of the situation. Well that’s what we’re going to do. Your assignment, if you decide to accept it, is this ..."
➤ Create a still life containing at least five items that make you happy.
➤ A photo of at least three of those items – set up and photographed in place by YOU – will form the basis of the still life. (Other items may be added digitally.)
➤ One object in your still life must include an image from your photostream (though none of the objects depicted in this image count as separate items in the still life). This can be added in setup or post processing.
➤ A grid of some sort should be integrated into your still life image (checkerboard, plaid pattern, honeycomb, chicken wire, whatever, but not simply parallel lines). This can also be done in setup or post processing.
➤ NO ELECTRONICS WITH SCREENS, including readout screens, like on a microwave. (Other kinds of electronics are okay.)
"Traveling makes me happy. I've been lucky to have visited many different countries, and each culture has been very special to me. Pictured above are some items that make me happy in this time of few travel opportunities...The photo of Notre Dame was taken in Paris before the fire, and has been in my photostream. The Russian nesting doll, or matryoshka, is a favorite from St. Petersburg. The hand painted cross came from a market in Slovakia, and the beautiful rosary was purchased in a shop near the Vatican. The little blue dish is from Limoges, the painted shoes from the Netherlands. A huge market in Budapest was home to the lovely painted egg. So....this is a small part of my collection which now brings me many happy memories."
