REMEMBERING WHEN

I may have posted this selfie here before ("Remembering When" Camera Roll 20190209...[7]), in a more colorful version. I like this subtler one that I just fussed out of that other one more. Suits the sense of nostalgia I get from it. Yeah, it's me. And maybe I like this softer version as you don't outright see the wrinkles and sags on this 75 year old. :-)

AUTUMN PEEKS OUT

"Autumn Peeks Out" (ss-many 1-25-19[38]) was just morphed from a very old version of an even older photo of mine. It's one of those I mentioned in my pic comments yesterday, that always ask to be experimented with when I come across them. See that number 38 in the parentheses after the title? The indicates there have been 37 previous versions. (Not all saved, but I worked on that many. Fortunately, the computer program does the numbering automatically.) BTW, if I had to choose which is my favorite season, it would be fall. Which is probably why as I tortured this pic it kept calling out to have its colors moved a bit closer to autumn's.

THE GROWTH RINGS OF LOVE

Yeah, I understand "The Growth Rings of Love" (ss-many 1-25-19[50]) as being no where near as orderly and clear as those of trees. And that's about all I have to say about this pic of mine. Except that you might note that #50 in brackets at the end of the info after it's title. That's how many times I've made new versions. That's 50 versions of this old pic just since getting this new computer about 10 months ago. Some pix simply have that pull. When I come across them I find myself wanting -- nay, itching -- to do something with them. BTW, I'm not saying that I save every version of a pic that I make. I don't. Not by far. But the computer system tracks each version sequentially, whether I still have all the previous copies on the system or not. And I don't change the numbering as I find it, shall I say, informative. :-D

A TURBULENT FALL

"A Turbulent Fall" (SS-many 1-25-19[7]) was just now tortured out of an already endlessly fudged with version of a very old pic of mine. What else is there to say? I kinda, sorta like it. Dare I say it, yet one more time? I wish I had a good editing program as there are things I'd like to try that might make it more satisfying to me. But, hey, that's life. We only get to do what we can with what we have (and don't have). I just wish sometimes life were less about settling (and often failing altogether) and more about creating something beautiful or helpful. Ah well, there's that child in me who's never given up or given in, speaking out again. Why? Why? Why?

WILL A WHITE HAT HELP?

"Will A White Hat Help?" (SS-many 2-5-19[9]) is me in my Halloween costume of a few years ago, taking a selfie in my bathroom mirror. Clearly, I've fudged with it today. I've always liked the original pic, but it's also always called out to be fussed with for the fun of it. :-) ... even wearing a good guy's white hat can't help a witch, ey? She is what she is.
