Products Today

Our most recent Lens-Artist photo challenge (Window Shopping), plus an article I recently read about false advertising in packaging & products prompted this post. We all know that products have gotten smaller but cost more. I'm talking about actual deception or misrepresentation of products. Plus a few observations. I'll start with those. I've noticed a...

L-AC: Window Shopping

This week's challenge is from Ritva and it is window shopping. This was difficult for me because I do not do window shopping. I tried to find any photos of shop windows and was rewarded with... one. I didn't find much more to do with just windows. So, maybe this is completely off the brief,...

L-AC: Weather

Anne had presented us with the topic of Weather this week. I don't know whether she just came up with it or she had to weather through many ideas. I know I'm feeling weathered from trying to find photos that fit! I know you've heard it before: "We have the craziest weather ANYWHERE!" from people...

Exploring New Mexico

Since I lost my little dog in March 2023, (can't believe it's been almost a year already. I miss her terribly) we were able to take off down the road in April. We decided we'd wander the areas around Santa Fe and Taos. We like to go up through the panhandle of Oklahoma to New...

L-AC: Warm Colors

Thank you to Egidio for this "warm" challenge! 😀 I'll start with this lovely old barn in Oklahoma. There's just something about old homesteads that intrigue me. It looks like the owners appreciate this one too.. a fairly new roof and paint, and still in use. Oklahoma I can't seem to get through a photo...

L-AC: Dramatic

Lens-Artist Challenge- Dramatic This week the challenge is to share dramatic photos. What makes a photo dramatic? Is it the subject, the lighting, the colors, the contrast or all of the above? Is it a visual impact that makes you say "Oh!" or causes you to look a little longer than usual? If I'm looking...

L-AC: Favorites of ’23

The first Lens-Artist Challenge of 2024 is a look back at 2023 and our favorite photos. It's a tall order even with a limit of 12 photos! I have to say that I haven't gotten all of my photos from '23 processed yet so I'm limited to those that are. After losing my last dog...

L-AC: Symmetry

Lens-Artist Challenge: Symmetry I'll let nature do the talking. A couple of street rods that have a lot of symmetry. The lines, the windows, the symmetry of this building caught my eye. And now, since the media library is doing what I was griping about a couple days ago (only flowers and cars of recent...

Super Creepy Crap 10/30/23

It's almost Halloween! So here's one more group of Creepy Crap for you. This thing. What the ??? A dude on a toilet. What is happening with his face? The tag says "Vintage Commode Charlie. Works. $40.00" It's even more creepy that it "works". I don't want to dwell on what that is. Baby dolls....

Why is the Media Library so Primitive?

Ok. All I'm trying to do is tag my photos in the Media Library so I can search them without having to scroll through ALL of them. I got so frustrated that I had to stop and b*tch about the whole ML here. I've been having glitchy issues with it for years now. It's a...
