Done for Macro Mondays 'Love Songs'.
Patsy Cline is a favorite singer, and I listen to her 12 Greatest Hits often.
'Faded Love' is one of her sweetest. In 1963 Patsy died in a tragic plane crash
at the peak of her career. We miss her.
I miss you darling, more and more every day
As Heaven would miss the stars above
With every heartbeat I still think of you
And remember our faded love.
Dilemma: How to illustrate Faded Love? It took a good deal of sliding & tweaking,
soft focus and de-saturation to achieve the above image. HMM!
I saw this quote and could not help but be moved by wondering if this is how my father felt when his "one and only" was no longer able to remember due to the cruel thief of Alzheimer's dementia. It struck me so, that I wanted to try to use a photo to capture a sense of loss and fading. Again, from Kim Klassen's Beyond Layers e-Course, using techniques learned and adding a pattern, I think it captured that mood.
Out my window, out my door, Mogadore, Summit County, Ohio
At the top of Liddington hill is a peaceful little copse that was cool and welcoming today after the climb up the hill in the hot sun. The copse looks out over the wiltshire countryside to the ridgeway, Swindon and down to the M4 motorway that buzzes along far below it like a toy race track.
In the wood there are a number of little shrines to loved ones, I think people chose the spot as the copse is such a pleasant, peaceful place and can be seen from the motorway below and for miles around.. a great 'watch-place' for spirits too i think... It's the kind of place i think our ancestors would have picked.
I'm not the best photographer of buildings and houses - something I plan on working on this summer because I live in a city of wonderful home architecture. I pass this house on my way to the animal shelter and it fascinates me. Built in 1900, it sits within walking distance of the mansion of Henry Clay Frick, mega-rich industrialist of the Andrew Carnegie era (now a museum), and even closer to the home of George Westinghouse, electrical pioneer and inventor of the railway airbrake (now gone and the land is a park). Back in the horse and carriage days, many of the area's wealthy built in this area because it was away from the smoke of the steel mills, but near a railroad station where they could hop a train into downtown. Now it's a borderline area with many of the homes turned into apartment buildings.

Memory fades as life goes on.
technically this picture is a pure failure : blur of moving subject, blur of misfocusing, blur of lowspeed and handheld.
But...
The roll stood undevelopped during 6 years, carefully stocked in
my fridge, because I knew there were on it some pictures from someone who left us few month later. I was afraid of destroying them with my manual process.
thanks to a good friend (God bless him), Theses pictures are safe. But this one grew on me. The movement of my little girl, the general blur with only this tiny part of shoes less blurred than the picture, appeared to me as a picture of time going on. Our memory fades, details disapear, but the mood stays.
Carpe Diem, sed habeo, non habeor.
Amici, diem non perdidi.
This homemade print has been on my wall for a few years. Don't know what went wrong, but it is not supposed to look like this. Looks more like 160 years old than less than 10...
I rarely get emotional over my work, but these recent paintings have really moved me. Inspired by childhood photographs of my little brother and I recently sent to me by my mother. A time gone by - a lifetime ago - a brother that I miss. These paintings are loose and fragmented like my memories. 5x5 Oil on paper.
Fading Hong Kong
19 years after the ruling of the British colonial government, I can truly see the difference as a Hong Kong resident.

Just returned from a trip to Singapore and Australia this morning. I have not taken that many photos but tried to focus on the best light and be at the spot when it appeared. Well it did in some cases, in others it didn't :). My companion throughout the trip was my Loka +fstopgear backpack and I love it. I also got the new Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 lens and love it as well. Complements wonderfully with the 17-55mm f/2.8. I certainly had to put it to a test and it passed! Wow, sharpness rivals the legendary 14-24mm f/2.8! Stay tuned on Google+ and Facebook. Some stunners are coming up shortly.
The Shot
I waited a few hours at this location. Actually not the worst spot to hang out. Just had to escape the rain a couple times. With long exposures it's tough, once it's starts raining the shot is basically ruined as water droplets are very visible when they are on the filter. This was my last photo of the night and took exactly 159sec at f/16 and another 159 to apply in-camera NR (which by the way is a must with any Nikon camera)

every seven years our bodies change every cell
every seven years we disappear
so so tired lately.. especially with the rainy weather. all I wanna do is wear my pajamas and drink tea and sleep for 12 hours
this editing was actually very simple and I love the way it turned out! I used a technique I've never really used in the past.
I see beauty in 'almost' everything!
Most of the times, tulips will last around 6/7 days, then the petals drop...
For some reason, these held on and just dried, shriveling, slowly withering, keeping their beauty as long as possible. I thought they looked beautiful, carefully brought them into the studio, yes, lost a few petals underway but they were clinging strongly enough, now they'll marvel FOREVER!
I gave them a last moment of glory.
I did a series of 5.
THANX for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated, too many to be returned (sadly, however I DO try!... )
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.

Why not view the set as a slide-show?
Also I often upload more than one image at the same time, I see a tendency to only view the last uploaded...
A faded enamel fire hydrant sign on the former entrance building of the Charing Cross, Euston & Hampstead Railway station at Euston, The building awaits demolition to facilitate the expansion of Euston station for HS2. 19th January 2018.
I thought the fading blooms of the Tulip were kind of neat as they wrinkle and fade, having done their job of attracting pollinators.
Manchester's coat of arms, on the side of the old tram shed/waiting rooms in Heaton Park. 'By counsel and hard work'
- I had thought the animal on the left was a unicorn but it's supposed to be an antelope. I hadn't noticed the pair of antlers.
- According to Wikipedia, the chain on the antelope represents engineering.
- The antelope also seems to have a prominent flacid penis. What aspect of Manchester does that represent, I wonder? It's not present in the present-day version of the coat of arms.
- The shield must be the source of UMIST's logo
From Wikipedia:
"Gules, three bendlets enhanced Or; a chief argent, thereon on waves of the sea a ship under sail proper. On a wreath of colours, a terrestrial globe semée of bees volant, all proper. On the dexter side a heraldic antelope argent, attired, and chain reflexed over the back Or, and on the sinister side a lion guardant Or, murally crowned Gules; each charged on the shoulder with a rose of the last. Motto : Concilio et Labore"".
The Shield : red (Gules) with three gold (Or) bands drawn diagonally across to the right hand side. The white (Argent) top segment (the Chief), shows a ship at sea in full sail. This is a reference to the city's trading base and to the Manchester Ship Canal. Crest : On a multicoloured wreath stands a terrestrial globe, signifying Manchester's world trade, and covered by a swarm of flying bees. The bee was adopted in the 19th century as a symbol of industry - Manchester being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Supporters : On the left a heraldic antelope with a chain attached to a gold (Or) collar, representing engineering industries, and hanging at the shoulder, the red rose of Lancashire, in which county Manchester once was. On the right a golden lion stands guardant (facing us), crowned with a red (Gules) castle (a reference to the Roman fort at Castlefield from which the city originated). The lion also wears the Lancashire Rose. Motto : "Concilio et Labore" - loosely translated "By wisdom and effort" (or 'By counsel and hard work')."
free items portrayed in a corny and extravagant way, i think. i've never actually photoshopped a freebie post photo so much.

I remember when I had Amber, I felt so different - like 'me' had been replaced totally by 'Amber's mum'. This time around I feel like bits of 'me' are still peeking through and I think HPAD has a lot to do with that - it almost forces me to take a bit of time for myself most days, even if it's just ten minutes. So thank you HPAD and all the HPADers, and here is a photo of me, fading back into view! I've also started my weight loss attempt today, so a self portrait seemed appropriate.
