abstract hinge by summerfield

abstract hinge

same hinge. severely cropped. converted to black and white. cropped yet again. flipped here and there until nothing's almost left. inverted to look like a robot. i'm scared of whatever else i did with it. do you fancy it being an abstract? i don't know if there's an eotb challenge, but i am tired now and i want to go home, except there's no home to go to but the hotel, drab, dreary and forlorn.

i don't mind hotels when i'm on vacation. but when you're in your own city, it doesn't make sense to stay in a hotel. but i suppose it is the universe's way of telling me something (as @moniquenadeau had commented previously). perhaps to purge my hoards, to lighten my load, to give the extra unnecessary stuff to those who need them. do i need my steampunk toy gun? man, yeah! do i need all those books? yeah. but what you might commend me for is that i gave my entire set of china to my girl Christine, you remember her? my sophie la rue. i couldn't think of anyone more deserving of a fine set of bavarian china but her. all twelve settings plus accesories. i told her to consider it as my wedding gift. oh, she was over the moon, she couldn't believe it. i do have another set/pattern that i kept for myself and my beau for when we go to nova scotia.

on a lighter note, the flower shop sold three of my frames. they were happy they want more frames from me. they also sold a couple during the Christmas holidays.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are greatly appreciated.

I like this a lot. It has some neat texture. It's fun to study it and try to figure out what it is.

Wow. Neat idea. Now I will have to look at hinges in a different poetic way.

I like this even more than the other one!

I know it's cliche, but see how you're given something to celebrate--like the sale of the photographs--to keep you from spiraling too deep? Focus on the good things that will happen once this is over. It's not forever; you know there is an end and you know when that is. And it will make Nova Scotia and your new life so much brighter.

Nicely processed.

Your commentary did make me chuckle. It's worked whatever it was you did!

Cool edit! Snuggle up with your books, maybe it'll make you feel more at home

I'm glad to see you have not come unhinged over this shot. LOL (sorry I laugh at my own jokes) btw cool processing.
