This week’s challenge to go close with a shallow depth of field using words as our subject. I couldn’t figure out which one I liked best so I’ve submitted a few of them. Which is your favourite?

In life there are two kinds of structures; those that appear naturally in nature and those that are man-made.

….day 51 uses unconventional art tools
Tuesday’s prompt from Carla Sonheim was to create a piece of art using unconventional tools. I chose to use a toilet paper roll, a chop stick and a wooden skewer.

On a piece of heavy watercolour paper I placed the toilet paper roll upright and dropped a small amount of two or three acrylic paint colours and some white down the middle of the tube. I also surrounded the tube with some white paint as well. Then the fun begins. You start moving the tube around and the paints mix to create an almost marbled effect. If I try this again I’d use less paint and have three or four tubes on the paper in different locations.
When the paint dried I put a dollop of black ink on random areas on the painting and then using the chopstick and the skewer I moved the ink around to add some visual interest to the piece.
Here’s the final creation.

…..this week’s theme is hanging clothes – use a simple frame
Every week Trablogger challenges us to take better photos.
I like the contrast with the diagonal lines in the top to the horizontal lines on the wall.

….this week’s theme focuses on photographing strangers or a A Face in the Crowd
It’s not about capturing any one face or even a group of faces in the crowd but more about capturing a moment. It could be a silhouette, the back of a person or just a crowd.
