Thursday Challenge: Purple -

"Deep Purple"
digitally manipulated photograph by Mick Mather
- original photograph by Ann Ballard -

As always, Thursday Challenge is a fun exercise for me in any number of ways. This week the theme, purple, lent itself to a photograph of a field of lowers taken by my good friend, Ann Ballard. When they flew in, over the email transom, the accompanying note made reference to the fact that "these photographs aren't very good." Hogwash! In the age of photo editors and scads of cool manipulation software, there's no such thing. Well, must dash, the rest of the week is packed with art talks, openings, a conceptual public art piece (more about that later perhaps) and a luncheon.
