Dare-to-be Different Photography

Hello from the Betterphoto.com seminar Day 2--where some of the best photography in the country has been shown in slide shows. Here's the content
of some of them:

Waterfalls from behind
Orange sunset's rays filtered from behind trees
Pieces of landscapes of tiny patterns in thin ice
Beautiful mountains in the mist
...and flowers, lots of 'em

Of course if you've been a faithful reader of my blog I'm into a little of this here and there. But...Lord have mercy...give me some mid-century modern.

After being inside all day learning oodles of photography tips...I decided to take a walk in the park 'round 5 o'clock. I was on a hunt--a hunt for something from the mid-century.

Here's what I found, perfect,a 70s olive green stove enhanced by the day's last light.

I manipulated this photograph too--with the skew and warp tools in Photoshop--bringing it almost back to how it looked spiffy clean (if you ignore the pine needles ontop.

Go 'head, everybody, photograph meandering springs, hazy waterfalls and mountains of green.

Leave me alone to the mundane glamour of of painted steel. I'll survive, even if it's in the trance of the next object I must find--a glittering disco ball.

If you happen to have a photograph of one, please send...please...
