FACING THE MUSIC ON AUSTRALIA DAY WITH KEYBOARD KELLY...
Larrikin Outlaw Bush Arranger, Bruce "Keyboard" Kelly wearing D.I.Y armour (cut from laminated sheet metal music) and bearing his weapon of musical destruction, made a plucky last ditch effort to win his freedom from the Upthecreeka Stockade on Australia Day by correctly remembering the words of the National Anthem.
"Orstrayuns all let us ring Joyce,
For she has knobbly knees...."
er...
"Aussies all are refugees,
'cept ab-o-rig-ines..."
um...
"Ockers all like eating meese,
'Cos they are stuffed with cheese...."
Bugger it anyway, strewth some baaaaaastard crack a tinny!

Me in one of my suits of Kelly Gang armour. This particular suit was made from scavenged sheets of aluminum bulked out with composite board filling to make it look thicker.
I think Gail took the original piccy that I modified, but the background plate of flag and fence was one of mine.
Oh, and the picture of the keyboard I took seperately as well.
Do I need to explain who Ned Kelly was? Dingo's kidneys, just look him up on wikky, or check out my "RED KELLY" Photoset fer gawd's sake! I gotta bugger off to a barbie!
See yez round like a Lifesaver...

A cropped detail of the vintage 'flapper' style image modelled on the gangsters of the 20's and 30's.
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality. The background here was an old mansion near me that is open to the public.

A strand of Virginia creeper crosses the arid sand seeking water and nourishment. Its stems become a crimson shriek of distress as opportunistic bugs attack its weakened leaves. Some shrivel and die. Desperately it produces a profusion of fruit, hoping that birds will carry its spawn to more hospitable climes where the species may flourish again. Nature red in tooth and claw, stem and frond; even a vine may have a savage tale to tell.
Consider the slime mold. For much of its life its individual cells move about the moist forest floor like amoebae, foraging for bacteria. They are such rugged individualists that even their chromosomes are single, not paired like yours or mine. When one of these lonely creatures meets just the right mate, and the conditions are just right—the gentle music of breezes in the treetops, soft dappled sunlight like candles on the forest floor, after a feast on a warm compost of leaf litter and organic decay—they will join together as one cell. Their chromosomes hug and begin to multiply, but their progeny never leave home. Soon millions of chromosome couples, each wrapped in its own nuclear membrane, all live with their parents in a shared a flat, a single giant cell, several inches across, that can look to the naked eye like dog vomit but can slowly move about like the Blob, devouring whatever lies beneath it. With such living arrangements, sooner or later stress is bound develop: all the food within reach is consumed, say, or the water begins to dry up. Word of impending disaster spreads among the nuclei like a rumor, and they spring into action. Some sacrifice their independence for the greater good, specializing and working together to erect from their very flesh great launching platforms with tall gantries. They pack warheads full of tiny cells with unpaired chromosomes, and launch them into space to seek another Eden, where single lonely haploid amoebae will emerge, forage, and then come together and colonize, starting the cycle anew.
Perhaps stress is the true mother of invention.
there is always one ...

The title comes from the native phrase "Walk in Beauty".. and in this case refers to the leaves displaying beauty in this phase, which is, in itself leaving the beauty they once had.
The treatment is a homegrown blending, based very loosely on a manipulation technique referred to as the Orton Technique.
These are hydrangea leaves collected from my front walk.
I don't use PixelBenderOils much, but I like what it did for this furry little fellow who bedevils the birds in my yard. He had already made several passes through Photoshop for line and color.

Let's see if there are one hundred thoughts upon seeing this image of a penny floor, converted to an "amazing circle". The original is a shot in the dark of the inlaid floor of the Hotel Congress, Tucson, Arizona. I liked taking an image of multiples, and then turning them back into one "penny" of copper texture. Some of my friends and contacts will know just why I picked this title, in another metaphor.
My Kitchen Window (with forsythia)
For Snap Game windowsill and some yellow on the previous picture made me think of this one.
You can't really tell from this picture, but the glass in the window is what some of us call *wavy* glass and it was about 90 years old at the time. I don't have the house any more, but the window is now 110 years old.

****************************************************************
Sorry this isn't much bigger, but I took it with a Polaroid Camera back around 1990, and did some sliding on it, way before I even knew what sliding was. I dated it 2003 on the picture itself, as that is the year I was trying to learn how to post it and how to put script on my photo.

"For ABCs and 123s ~ K is for Kitchen Window"
For Dave C., the *soul* of this one was me learning how, right there in this kitchen, to do Polaroid Manipulations. What fun I had!
over Mountains
over Trees
over Oceans
over Seas
across the desert
I'll be there
in a whisper on the wind
on the smile of a new friend
just think of me
And I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
On the edge of a waking dream
over Rivers
over Streams
through Wind and Rain
I'll be there
Across the wide and open sky
thousands of miles I'd fly
to be with you
I'll be there
Don't be afraid, oh my love
I'll be watching you from above
And I'd give all the world tonight,
to be with you
Because I'm on your side,
And I still care
I may have died,
but I've gone nowhere
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
In the breath of a wind that sighs
oh, there's no need to cry
Just think of me,
And I'll be there
I'll Be There

Using Gimp, I started with floral photo, shaped it into a sphere, distorted top of sphere to give egg shape, added shadow and gradient background.
This is a lot harder to do than it seemed when I read the tutorial - especially if you're like me and don't have very good hand-eye coordination. I could have spent the next couple of days clicking around the paws and still wouldn't have got it right! You're supposed to add a 3-D frame to the photo, but that is well and truly beyond my current abilities.........however, it was a challenging and fun project to work on while I wait for a spell of "photographer's block" to pass.
