Surfaces, above, is a brand new crop of a year old photo. I was drawn to focus on the vases and other lines/shapes by my recent thought here that I might do best now to try new subjects.

From the Pulpit, below, is from that same batch of photos and is of what was in those vases.

And The Secret Life of Lilies, below, is the full view of those calla lilies, vases, and table. But clearly, fussed with in my favorite fashion (colors inverted and slightly saturated).

I came across these old photos in weeding out my picture folders yesterday. When I first began the digital photo journey four years ago I was very good about going back regularly and cleaning out what was not workable. I've gotten rather lazy, though, and have too many folders filled with useless pix. And right now I can almost hear my poor old computer complaining about the space they take up. Therefore, the weeding and the irony: many of what I earlier thought were probably useless now turn out to make satisfying photos when re-cropped and fooled around with. Which means that I'm not as far ahead on the number of pix deleted as I would like. But that's not really a complaint. I've found some new photos I feel OK about posting. And if this experience is any indication of the rest of the weeding, I can look forward to some more creative fun.
