Back Story:
I actually bought these flowers for my Aunt's funeral. I kind of selected them mindful of the fact that, as the next of kin, I'd be entitled to take them home after the service and I had some photography projects in mind for them. Perhaps that makes me sound like a bad person, but my Aunt would have thought it was very practical, so it's ok. We don't like waste in my family! When I got home after the funeral, I was too tired to set up lights and backdrops and get out the DSLR, so I just took a few shots with my iPhone 5. I took this photo using the Camera + app and the olloclip macro lens. I don't think I edited this one much in Camera +, maybe just a bit of sharpening. I really liked the composition of this shot, with the spiral pattern in the rose. This is just one of several versions I made of it. I added the savannah texture in the Distressed fx app and saved. Next, I took the original photo into Mextures and added the Painterly effect from the grunge textures. I saved and then blended the two versions at about 50-50 in PhotoForge2, then I applied THAT to the original photo with a graduated radial filter, using Filterstorm. I really wanted to give it a bit of a dreamy, painterly effect but I didn't want to cover up the sharpness in the centre of the photo. I frequently use graduated radial filters to apply my edit to the original photo like a vignette.

The shoes that appear in my "Things Work Out" series represent our perpetual journey and how all we experience becomes part of who we are. In these pieces, I depict shoes not only because they are part of what takes us on our personal journey, but also because our shoes reveal a little bit about our individuality and the postmarks suggest different locations or travel. I started my "Things Work Out" mantra years ago with my children, it's about being positive and trusting. On Tuesday mornings, while drinking my coffee I send my husband and children a text that says "Happy 2sday!" Included in that text is one of my photos or artworks that include a 2 or the word two. (T.W.O. = Things Work Out)
