WARNING: NEW VIRUS DISCOVERED. LOOKING FOR A CURE.

The new virus is called the Coronavography Virus. Don't know how contagious it is but I sure as hell got it. My primary symptom is undeniable ... over the last 2 weeks of stay-at-home (apparently a pre-condition), I have made at least 42 pictures that have made it into my "finished" folder, aka: "keeper" folder. And, the count keeps rising.

Case in point, the pictures in this entry were all made within the last 4 hours. I even had a break-down of sorts and made a picture of toilet paper. And, I am about to go out on a drive about with the expressed purpose of making more pictures.

Might be time for an intervention.

instagram-ish # 1-3 ~ only because I can

April 12, 2017

For reasons known only by my inner demons, I have been playing around making my own "instragram filters". I wrote "known only by my inner demons" because, as a practioner of straight photography, when it comes to effects for effects sake, I ain't fer it, I'm agin it. So, obviously, this is truly a case of the devil made me do it.

However, there is a more straight forward rationale for this sseemingly bizzare behavior. It seems, from my experience with juried exhibitions and my observations of pictures selected, that no matter theme of an exhibition photo-effects are de rigueur. So, amongst my submissions for an exhibition, Honoring Trees, there will be, in addition to my straight pictures of trees, a few "instragram filter"-like pictures. Just to test the waters, don'tcha know.

I must admit that part of my "experiment" is to see if one of instagramish pictures is accepted into the exhibition so that I can say/write, "Ha. there, I did it".
