Since I did a piece of fruit yesterday for my color wheel shot I didn't want to repeat the same subject today. However, I really liked the way this came out even though it barely resembles a photograph anymore! I always wonder what I might have done with my Fine Arts degree had digital photography and all these cool processing effects been available when I studied for my undergraduate degree. I wasn't much of an artist when it came to painting and drawing (I was a fantastic doodler though!) so I ended up focusing on Art History instead of applied art. But if someone had steered me in the direction of photography, I wonder what would have happened?
So creative Ann! I suspect you might have become a practicing artist/photographer! I wonder if women could be more than nurses or teachers if I would have been a photojournalist -- the paths not taken!
@pools82 Thank you Mike! @taffy Thank you Taffy! You know, I was very happy with my college and I do think it was the right place for me to be at that time in my life, but it is one of those situations where I think- if I'd had more options, what might I have discovered about myself a little bit earlier? Or if I'd had one person who wasn't afraid to push me a little harder in the right direction! Who knows- the good thing is that I've discovered it now and I might still be able to do something with it! @stimuloog Thank you Marloes! @jennwithtwons Thank you Jenn! @haze65 Thank you Hazel! And thank you so much for the fav!!
The processing of this photo is amazing! Your comments made me think--I studied English and became a teacher. As you said, I loved my college and appreciated the quality of the education I received. But years later, they added a degree in historic preservation, and that is my true love. But who knows if that would've been a better field...? Your photos reflect your artistic background.
@eudora Thank you Diane! Historic preservation sounds fascinating too! If I'd listened to my parent's gentle hint that I should get my masters after graduating undergrad, it would have been in Fine Arts and I'd probably have ended up working in a museum. But- I've never been one to be disappointed with the "road not taken". Even though I wonder, I'm still happy with where I am too.
@cimes1 Thank you Carole! @mhatch Thank you Mark! @digitalrn Thanks Rick! Truth be told though, you would not want to take a bite out of this one- it's wooden!
Agree with Bev...But your profession is in connection with arts. I love art, but I could not study. I was clerk. Now I'm retired and I try to photograph.
@prttblues Thank you Bev! @vesna0210 Thank you Vesna! You are an artist with words in your poetry. And your camera is your paint brush when you photograph your garden.
