I’m working on some textures and overlays this evening and eventually worked my way to creating some worn pages. I like vintage….I like old….I look at it and can’t help but wonder what tales could be told from the worn item in front of me. I can remember exploring this old house near my grandparents farm…the treasures we found inside. Old magazines, newspapers…it was fascinating. My only regret is I wasn’t smart enough to hang on to any of them.

Working

February 18, 2012 by Magikal Folk

I have spent most of the afternoon working on different things. The morning was shot for the most part after I woke up about 3:00 a.m. with a migraine…at the time it felt like a world ending one too. Medication was taken and to ensure total darkness my lavender/calendula eye pillow was placed over my eyes as I waited for it to pass…which it did….and the world didn’t end.

After one of these, my day is generally low key. One of the things I have been working on today are pages for my often neglected Facebook page for Magikal Folk Photography. If you click over for a visit, please take a moment to like my page. As I said, the page is often neglected but I hope to change that in the future….part of the change I was talking about earlier in the week. Today I changed the profile image as well as the welcome page…and plan on adding a few more…like the one I created today….more to come….

Recovering

February 14, 2012 by Magikal Folk

It was my intent to publish Outside My Window this evening….but to be honest, my mouth hurts and I just don’t want to do it right now. On the plus side, this was the last visit to the dentist for any major work….the permanent crowns and bridge are set in place. Words of wisdom to the young folks out there….take good care of your teeth and floss, floss, floss….it will save you dollars and pain later in life.

I have been experimenting with the new camera but due to illness, weather and a plethora of other things that seem to come along lately, I haven’t been able to get out and really play with it. The girls and I were home recovering from our various ills this past weekend ~ recovering, relaxing and enjoying our first snowfall of the season. My oldest relented and allowed me to take a photograph of her….I think she knew I was ready to explode.

Time For A Change

February 12, 2012 by Magikal Folk

Once again, Outside My Window is being delayed by a day….something that seems to happen more frequently than I like lately. There was a time when that post would be one of the first things I did on a Sunday…..now it has been pushed back to the last thing I do ~ and that isn’t working. It never fails that I run out of time on Sunday evenings…time for a change.

In the meantime….getting my feet wet with the new camera this week. The settings are different from my previous camera so there are a few things to learn….and it handles a little differently so there is that. Here are a couple of my practice shots….I’m pretty happy with the results.
