TODAY'S
PHOTO -
Autumn leaves - a photo taken in Laurence Harbor,
NJ in 2001
Although it's probably a little early for full Autumn
colors, Thursday is the first day of Fall, so I'm
featuring today's leaves. Also, several of the participants
in the last Photo/Creativity teleclass are continuing
on in a Camera Club with everyone working on one theme
for two weeks, the current one being Fall.
This becomes somewhat of a challenge for me here in
South Florida, not having much differential in seasons.
Autumn, is one of the biggest missings for me. In
addition to the crispness in the air I particularly
miss the changing colors, sometimes brilliant, of
the leaves.
During my first "Autumn Away from Home"
I realized that I probably had hundreds , if not more,
of photos from which I could choose and hang to give
me some of the feeling I was missing. I did have fun
creating a "photo collage" in a Photoshop
Elements course I was taking at the time. See MISSING
AUTUMN IN NJ
You'll observe, I'm
sure, that today's photo is part of that collage.
I particularly love this
photo because of the variety of colors captured
in the leaves, including the lavenders, which may
simply have occured from the scanning of the photo.
The diagonal thrust of the orange leaves is also
quite strong.
SELF-REFLECTING QUERIES -
Are there things in your environment that are missing
for you resulting from moves or other circumstances?
Perhaps there are even fond missings from your past
upon which you reflect.
If "yes", what ways have you adapted?
Have you been able to create compensatory images
or activities that are as satisfying or more so?
For me, though it's not comparing "leaves to
leaves", I do have the year-round lushness
of one kind of flower or another. And, I have my
photos and memories.
Also, if you are in a geographic location which
does not have the "traditional" Northern
seasons and you've found other "signs"
of seasonal changes that delight you, I'd love to
hear from you.
AUDIO TESTIMONIALS -
Have you yet checked out the 28 second message from
Sondra,
who shares the impact on her life of a custom photo/drawing
of her father done by me?
Have you listened to Judith Tramayne-Barth and Renee
Kleckner on our AUDIO
LINKS page, where Judith also describes how easy
it is to record a message? I'd love to have your voice
there also. A sentence or two is more than enough, if
you are person of a few words.
I will publish the link for yours in Picture to Ponder
and on the testimonial
page on the eteletours site. You can call in yourself
at (214) 231-2905 ext 6956 or, if you wish,
e-mail me to set a time and I can call you and 3-way
you in and simply listen while you talk.
