Walking.. by maggiemae

Walking..

My two stepgrandsons are so clever and well educated in their careers, the only subject I could keep up with was cameras and photographs (with only a minimum of understanding)
Simon - the middle one wanted to create slow moving pictures of the sea sparkles and movement and put music to it in some clever mathematical way. David, on the right has done the Mongol Rally in an old dunga of a car and recently through India in a tuk tuk. He has worked on oil rigs In Australia and Indonesia and North Sea rigs, currently with a job in Eindhoven.
Three Good Things:
1. They didn’t eat me out of house and home - were most appreciative.
2. Watched some of my movies on Youtube and thought they were so funny! So do I - still!
3. Tarakihi fish for tea
You sound very proud of them! I like this picture. The selective colour works so well.

I know your husband is so proud of these two. Yes mathematicians are hard to understand! They can be a lot of fun though because they look at the world differently than most folks do.

@fbailey This is higher mathematics, Felicity! You've got to be kidding!

@summerfield I never thought of it like that, Vikki - just wanted to make the heritage building look old. But it does give that impression!

i like your precessing, very retro , like a faded film photo

@phil_howcroft Thanks Phil - I was wondering if it had too much green in it!
February 22nd, 2019  
It sounds like they are both brilliant and adventurous- fascinating people! I agree with all the above about the processing- it works so well with the way they are walking, what they're wearing and where they're going- the vintage feel is perfect for it.

It's a neat, thought-provoking shot. Not unlike a candid street shot. They sound like terrific young men.

@ludwigsdiana You know its the difference between wanting to keep close contact or perhaps, giving up trying!
February 23rd, 2019  
A proud grandma.
February 23rd, 2019  
@yaorenliu Well, I don't feel like a grandma, Yao - my realities are on their lives, commitments, achievements!
February 23rd, 2019
