New filters from an old editor -

"Walking Toward the Light"

One of the photo editors here at the Secret Visual Laboratory has had it's uses over the years. I rarely bother with the preset filters to be found there but, lately, I've been playing around and have discovered some limited uses for a few of them. Tonight's post is a good example of what I mean and the particular pose of the figure combined with a few layers of further manipulation resulted in the title at the end of it all. Anyway, time for a short nap before heading out to Joe's Pasta Garage in Skaneateles, New York for a 5:00pm dinner along with a short walk across the street to The Lucas Gallery to meet and greet Wendy Harris.

I'll be away for the rest of the week -

"The Black Body Suit"

I've been so caught up in my work lately that it completely slipped my mind that I'll be away much of the week. The New York State Folk Arts Round Table begins tomorrow in beautiful Skaneateles, New York, situated in the Heart of the Finger Lakes. I expect to see someone like this wandering around town or at the inn - yes, my eyes have gotten worse since last year! So, I'm not exactly certain of my posting schedule through Friday, perhaps Saturday. If I'm able, I'll get some things loaded and ready to go...however, consider that there may be missing posts. At best, the rest of the week is quite likely going to be hit and run. To the war!
