Waiting for the person scheduled for a portrait fashion street style shoot at 6am. Nothing else to do but shoot backdrop of that days shoot. Had fun with this one in Photoshop. Weather was not bad as it looks. In fact, when we started the shoot, sky was clear, and streets were dry. Blue skies and sun hit building before 8am ending the session.

I had written:
Since this has been another day when I've been busy and distracted and also coming down with a lousy cold, I am simply sharing another image from my archives..... it's a scan I did a while back from an image I shot a long, long time ago when I was taking some classes in photography.....

AFB inquired: What is it?

The original image (on film) was of two vases against a background of an interesting piece of gold parchment-like art paper that I had found somewhere. The larger vase is orange, the smaller one a dark blue. I scanned the image into which ever (Windows) computer I had back then and for some reason it would only scan part of the photo, essentially creating a cropped image with a weird bit at the top that wasn't in the original -- artifacts, if you will. I studied it for a bit and then tweaked and cropped it some more to create this rather mysterious final product! :).
Thanks for the detailed explanation.

That’s just crazy! :eek: Initially, it’s quite funny but then you have to feel badly for the animals in their zoo.
Agreed. But who did they think they would fool?
