Unrequited Love

Black And White Photography

Unrequited Love“I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I’m not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don’t have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It’s an unrequited love with nature – a one-way love affair.” –  David Duchovny

In the “history and language of flowers” one of the meanings of the Daffodil is unrequited love.  I think there is a relationship of unrequited love between Winter and Spring.  The buds and blooms of Spring were certainly pouting after our recent dusting of snow.

To see another photograph of a Daffodil covered in snow visit my personal blog at: Robyn Graham Photography.

With fresh water becoming more scarce, droughts in the western portion of the USA and lead poisoning in Flint Michigan because of the Governor wanting to save money, water is  “The New Gold” !

Screwed and Owned…

Owned because I can’t make Photoshop work well in a Windows 10 virtual machine running under Linux… Ok sorry for the technical vocabulary. I am running Linux Ubuntu on my desktop and I can’t find any good photograhy software. So I feel owned by Adobe and Microsoft 😥

I wish I could get more from that picture. I can see aliasing…

I am looking to buy this coming fall a Sony Z5 cellphone (benchmark) which actually gives a nice 23Mpx. If I can make somthing good with it, I’ll be able to shoot AND to process every picture on this cellphone.

We’ll see.
