Fascinations


There are a few surprising things that I have found interesting to capture since returning back to the USA. Newspaper boxes, mailboxes and parking meters. Lovely parking meters, like this set, all by themselves. Or parking meters with something else, like my scooter. I didn't see these beauties in Italy, there was usually a box where you would pay down the street and print a receipt. That was boring. These are interesting.

The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. 
-- Marcel Proust

Linking in to Texture Tuesday today. Here's the recipe I used:
- First, adjusted levels and converted to sepia tone.
- Next, added Kim Klassen's crackerjack texture, blended with soft light at 88%.
- Erased this layer over the parking meters.
- Finally, added the crackerjack texture again, rotating 180 degrees. Blended with soft light at 48%.
