More Bull...

An old photo, of an even older wood sculpture, done by my Father, some time in the early 70s. No particular reason, or anniversary for posting, just one of the photos I've been running through the new PShop program, to see what happens. What is happening often, especially with the older photos, is I'm discovering just how little I knew/know about camera settings, lighting etc... & just how many tricks I know in PShop to make a badly taken photo look better, or at least, more interesting

To my eyes, anyway...

Day off today & the only thing on the official agenda is my annual 'flu vaccination this afternoon. There is increasing talk of easing the restrictions on travel & association, but nothing much has changed yet, though the infection & death rates in New South Wales, have been on a constant downward trajectory for a good while now. As I mentioned yesterday, I kind of like the quiet, the lack of crowds, the way that everybody' has discovered you don't have to be out & about everywhere, all the time. I'm sure I should feel something for all the parents who have discovered, to some degree, what their children are really like as students - not the "pleasure to have in the class" their teachers write about in report cards... but I don't. It's your kid - teach it how to interact with the world in a proper fashion & stop blaming the school, the teacher, the government for your failings as a parent every time little Hypatia or Tyrion either gets a C-, or suspended from school for being a little shit

As I edited both my own and my dad's scanned photos from the pre-digital days, the technology choice I have come to appreciate the most is autofocus. Much like standard television now seems so blurry and dated compared to HD, focus seems more like it was a general consideration back then rather than a necessary thing.

We have seen plenty of the shocked parents expressing "this is too hard" when it comes to spending the weekdsys trying to teach their own miscreant creations.
