have been totally uninspired the last year. A friend has forced me to go out and take photos of anything. So here is a faded rose in my garden.
walking to meet one of my friends I havent seen in a while and saw a shadow of words. looked more closely. "you have my favorite smile." I liked it.

Preserved class 45 Peak 45060 'Sherwood Forester' stands at Barrow Hill looking rather faded. Next to the class 45 is Europhoenix class 91 91117
This art installation may have been colorful when it was first installed.
But paint fades and wears. Wraps rip, whether through weather or vandalism. Such is the fate of a street art installation in the big, bad city.
Lesson: I shoulda seen it when it was newly installed instead of a month-and-a-half later.
This flower has about arrived at the end of the road, and I find that I like seeing these faded flowers up close. I particularly like the textures of the petals as the moisture retreats from them.
Lit with and SB600 in a snoot behind and to the left of the flowers - for backlighting, and an SB700 in a softbox on the right for fill light. These two strobes were in manual mode and were triggered by the Tiny Triggers, I just received from scottrobertstudio.com.
This looks best when viewed large on a dark background, and you can see it that way by pressing "L".
Other plants and flowers that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/...
Sadly, Eastbourne Buses itself is fading: after more than 100 years, it's been sold to Stagecoach, who aren't going to keep the name or brand.
I know it's a silly thing to be sentimental about, but that seems sad to me.

This is a miniature quilt I finished in 1991 for a black & white challenge. One of the fabrics faded and looks brownish, so I shot this with b&w mode.
Finally got a much-needed haircut fade once again. How does it look? My head feels cold now lol. I was also continuing to rock the beard. Thanks again, Tina! (Sunday, March 21, 2021)
*"The true test of a man's style is the haircut. There are some men who look good no matter how their hair is styled, whether it's trendy or not. A man can change his haircut many times, but to pull off any haircut, you have to be very chic. Like Brad Pitt." - Carine Roitfeld.
I decided to try my hand at some still-life-type photography this morning.
The Subject: A bouquet of flowers from the wedding of a long time friend of my wife and I. My wife just left them out to dry as-is. They're quite something in person. A lot of texture to them, and the faded colors are both dull and striking at the same time. Perhaps the best part of this bouquet is the now-shrunken stems of the flowers. They've retained their shape, but, in the drying process, have shrunken quite dramatically.
Anyway, I put these on my kitchen table (which is for sale by the way...in great shape...and only $50!) this morning. I used a wrinkled pale blue sheet, and turned the blinds down to get a little sunrise lighting onto the table.
I think this experiment worked out nicely. I intend to try this again, perhaps with a different subject, to try some different angles.
Critiques are most welcome!

Adjusted the contrast, hue, and saturation values just a tad to lighten up the flowers. They were a little too muted (more than they actually appear in real life) and dark to post straight off the camera.
