Red Hat, Brussels, 6.5.25

by patricia emerson mitchellLeave a Comment on Red Hat, Brussels, 6.5.25

I hesitate posting photos that include a child, but in this instance I’m going to go ahead with it. Because it just makes me smile and I find it all very sweet. If someone thinks I’m wrong in doing so please feel free to tell me: I might take it down, I might not. We shall see. Truth is, I could disappear the young one quite easily what with all the tools now in Lightroom, but the way she is standing and the way the other “red hat girl” is standing just sort of make this image for me. I also have another where you can see the face of “red hat girl” but I actually prefer this one.

From Our Trip

by patricia emerson mitchell2 Comments on From Our Trip

Normally I get home from a long trip, get all my photos (both iPhone and Fuji) on to Lightroom, and then pretty much forget about them. Some years later I’ll have a look-see and wonder why I never revisited the images but I’m fairly sure it’s mostly that the trip is over so I move on to the next big thing and neglect the poor, lonely images.

This time I”m attempting to at least look at a few things each day, thus the photos of the cyclist on Graffiti Street and the peacock feather image. Today I’ll bring you another bike. I know I won’t post daily: there is only so much I can manage in one day with this brain ‘o mine. But when I have time, I’ll attempt to get something up here that somehow makes me smile, or ponder … or maybe even roll my eyes (no, nothing has done that so far).

As They Say, “The Best Camera …”

… is the one you have with you.”

Or something like that, anyway. (And yes, I know many would argue with that, but just let me run with it for now.)

When Dan and I were in Ghent we visited “Graffiti Street”. It really was as colorful as you might expect, and quite fun to see. As we were walking through a cyclist suddenly came toward us. I had my iPhone in hand — but it wasn’t open at the moment — and I quickly hit the little camera icon that appears at the bottom right of it. I had to work so quickly I got all of one shot in, not knowing if it would work at all.

May I saw that it worked?! I think so, in any case.

Dan is usually the one to catch stuff like this. But it was my turn. And I’m rather proud of myself (in the most humble of ways, of course.)
