The golden hour does some cool things with the lighting around here. This barn is on the road by my house. It is nice and shiny, I guess from aluminum paint on the corrugated steel? Anyways, I did three treatments of it in Lightroom. The color one is pretty much straight out of the camera. I love the reflection of the golden light on the bottom right. I tweaked the color a little in the second version. It’s not crazy, but I like it too. And I love the shapes in the B&W version. So… vote in the comments for which you like best. None of them is an option too!

I just found out I won a Cube Grenade from Hugh MacLeod’s Gapingvoid Gallery for my interpretation of a print Hugh did and published in his daily email.  A few quick thoughts now before dinner to so folks that got the email can take advantage of a special offer.

First: the post is here: No Escape

Second: To get on the email list from Hugh you need to go here.

Third: Their twitter is@gapingvoidart

Fourth: I really need to step up my game after announcing it on Hugh’s page, don’t you think?

Special Offer!

When I told my wife I would have visitors worldwide looking at my blog, and someone from Mexico City ( Hey Roberto!) had already sent me an email she said “Let me know when someone from New Zealand checks in”.  Then when I got home, she said “I meant Iraq… er… the South Pole… er….”

Here’s the deal. Email me by using the contact page, with your name and address, and I’ll send you a post card of one of my Holga photos. I’m inspired to do this by a photographer/artist whose work I admire,  Christian Harkness.  That blog is NSFW by the way. He just sent me one of his post cards.

More on all this later…
