Looking back this month means looking back over not just December, but the whole year.
2022 has been a hard year, and I suspect that many people will feel as I do, that it is a year I am pleased to see behind me. It has been a year of anxiety and stress, both globally, and within the UK.
With the pandemic 'over' but still very much with us - with the UK economy and political system in tatters - and with the death of the monarch who has reigned for as long as most of us can remember.
It has been hard to find a festive spirit this festive season. I confess I have taken more joy in the images I have created than in the reality of my December 2022! Yet again I turn to my cameras, and thanks to the Flickr challenges I have found a haven where I can forget the news, inflation, and the terrible plight of so many people wherever I look.
But whatever happens, I still find that for me a day without a camera to record something, however trivial, is a day lost. I've tried through December to use my vintage Helios lenses, and Lensbaby optics as much as I could ... but there are times also for the iPhone, the macro lenses and the 'pocket rocket' of the original Sony RX100.
Many thanks to everyone who has visited my photostream and for the comments and faves.

For 'sliderssunday'.
Not quite what I expected to produce on a Saturday evening. I did make the paper spirals in the afternoon and used a couple of dabs of glue to hold them together - they are about 6cm in length.
To get the reflection I wanted I had to use a rather battered chromium-plated sheet of metal. When I used my usual mirror I ended up with multiple reflections which just didn't look right.
As for how the original image got processed like this, I'm not too sure but do know that I'm certain I couldn't do it quite the same again.
Whenever I use a mirror surface I always have to do a bit of 'gardening' to remove all the spots of dust and dirt that seem to appear by magic.

Dear Flickr Friends
As my family and I, along with the rest of the world slowly go into a world of lock down, social distancing and isolation, I thought I'd share a fun gift given to me from my boys for my 50th Birthday. Here in the UK we celebrate 'Mothers Day' on Sunday and on Tuesday I celebrate my 50th Birthday, two special days that I have looked forward too and like everyone its a difficult time, I'm sad that my big birthday is not as planned and I have survived so much to get here but, I had 49 fabulous other birthdays before hand and my day will still be special with my family. We must remember to be grateful for what we have and always, always keep humour in times of adversity. What more could I ask for than my own toilet roll when all around us there are simply none to be found... this is the best birthday present ever, I will return as and when I can, keep safe everyone ~ KissThePixel2020

So what do you do with hundreds of old desktop calendars?
Roll them up into little tubes (see other pictures in set) and create art.
Best viewed large.
Can you find January, February, etc.? How about the days of the week?
You don't need to ask, Yes, I am crazy.

I actually wanted to do something else but then ended up doing this. I saw a similar picture somewhere. When my roll ends, you might see what I wanted to do. LOLzzz...
Anywho.. Hope you guys had an awesome weekend. My weekend sucked. I was home in these payjamas. Watched a couple of movies, recorded a song and cooked.
To work tomorrow. I want another weekend.
P.S.: Apologies for the unoriginal title. :)
P.P.S.: My hands are not actually that ugly. The PP screwed it up.
About the setting:
This weeks Macro Mondays' challenge was a bit tricky for me, because i dont own a flashlight. I wanted everything else to be black/underexposed so i waited for night to come. I made a snoot of a piece of paper and tried to hold it to my smartphones' flashlight. A tripod and a cable release helped me out. Hopefully u enjoy the result... ;)
About Trolls (from wikipedia):
A troll is a class of being in Norse mythology and Scandinavian folklore. In Old Norse sources, beings described as trolls dwell in isolated rocks, mountains, or caves, live together in small family units, and are rarely helpful to human beings.
Later, in Scandinavian folklore, trolls became beings in their own right, where they live far from human habitation, are not Christianized, and are considered dangerous to human beings. Depending on the source, their appearance varies greatly; trolls may be ugly and slow-witted, or look and behave exactly like human beings, with no particularly grotesque characteristic about them.

I've changed the content of the museum wall, putting my own photo into the frame: visit PhotoFunia to do the same:

I use Parchment paper extensively. It makes cleaning up the pan much easier.
This is a ball of small cut paper rolls my wife purchased at Denver Botanic Gardens. I will try to find out the name of the artist...
Looks like a strange planet or something....
February is a wonderful month to reORGANIZE our inner space . . .
our studios, homes, minds.
Spontaneity, which to me is the art of being able to do something just because I feel like it at the moment, always invites surprises. While routines have their merit, I'm much more comfortable trusting my instincts while in the process of ORGANIZING.
Although this photo was taken in my best friend's art studio, it could easily have been her kitchen!
