Test of my camera filter app using the main lens on my cell phone. I had to aim it in strange ways to get the subject centered. (The bug is very frustrating and difficult to find but I will persist.) Naomi was talking to me unaware the clock behind her was looking at her.
I used a threshold filter I wrote for this image.

"edge/threshold/brink is a print-based work suggested by some of the historical narratives that have defined and redefined the city of Toronto in relation to its landscape. The work is a commentary on the cultural importance of water and land to the Mississauga of the New Credit and the ways the landscapes of Toronto have been wrestled into a metropolis by new arrivals.
Installed in a Dundas/Trinity Square walkway, the work will subtly interrupt and disrupt the everyday perception of this much-traversed transitional space, bringing into focus the “fault line” between the former natural state of this landscape and some of its 19th-century iterations. From images of indigenous plants and trees which showcase the distant past, to more recent histories of residents who found safety and allegiance in the Ward by means of the Underground Railroad, the project will highlight hidden layers of history on which the city has been built."

The Nathaniel Gist House, constructed 1855, is architecturally significant as an outstanding example of Greek Revival plantation architecture in upcountry South Carolina. With its brick load-bearing exterior and interior walls and stuccoed white, brick-columned portico, the Gist House is atypical in construction from and more classical in design than the frame farmhouses typical of the mid-nineteenth century upland South.
This 1855 house has had no significant structural alterations for the past century and a half. Although occupied intermittently, with periods of neglect, it has retained its exterior and interior character-defining elements, and exemplifies a taste and style of affluent planters of its time and place. The house sits on a twenty-one-acre parcel on a rise above the river, and was once visible to river traffic before the growth of the Sumter National Forest. A segment of Old Woods Ferry Road traverses the property. This landscape feature contributes to the character and significance of the property. Approximately 200 feet southwest of the house is a stone-lined circular well constructed with stones from the Broad River and capped with pecked granite slabs similar to the thresholds of the house. It is believed to be the earliest and main water supply for the house. The well contributes to the character and significance of the property. Listed in the National Register February 11, 2011.
