  • Getting Arty

  • Near and Far

    #Socs #Near #Far Near and Far How Near to where i am would i want to go ? The Local Park Perhaps ? The Local Art Gallery ? Off to the Lakes perhaps? Or a remote sandy beach, someplace sunny and warm?

  • #Camera its really clever you know capturing birds in flight or excited squirrels running about the garden batched up and processed in a single click exception – getting the image you captured relayed to paper – but its quicker than negatives great device, capturing life in a click
