"Crosswalk"
digital collage by Mick Mather

Busy streets and busy sidewalks inspire me today and I always wonder where people are rushing away to while enjoying the dance of getting across, over, around and through. It's like a fine choreography in many ways and I've been known to watch such performances for hours.

Walk, Don't Walk -

"The Black Skirt"
digital collage by Mick Mather

There's always something interesting to me about street scenes and tonight's post is a testament to that. Working with ordinary images of people going about their humdrum, daily routine is always a challenge and always interesting to me. In the case of tonight's post I headed for a total obstruction of the original image before passing them through a wide variety of plug-ins and filters. As I began to build layers, further manipulating each of them, things went from bad to worse and back again. Anyway, here we have it, a woman in a crosswalk wearing a basic, black skirt.
