the grey matter

"maybe if we tell people the brain is an app, perhaps they will start using it."

i saw that quote on a poster at the bookstore. but it wasn't a picture of a brain but one of them famous actors. i'd have taken a photo of the poster but when i took out my camera from my purse, i was promptly told by the manager "please no photographs in the store". bah, humbug! otherwise i'd have a shot for today. 'tis a good thing i have this brain kicking around in my bookshelves so, it was a no-brainer (hahaha! d'you think the pun was intended or not?) that it would be my post for today.

quite happy with how this turned out. i started with a 5-second exposure and gradually adjusted ISO and shutter speed. if all sooc's turn out like this without adjustment in post, we're all going to be happy campers, aren't we?

-o0o-

chuffed that my rooftop shot won the artist challenge. now, i have to research and think who'd be the next featured photographer/artist. i suppose i'd need to use my over-used brain.

chuffed, too, that last saturday's post made it to the weekly final for theme-mirrors.

thank you for your kind visits and comments and generous favs; know that they are all greatly appreciated.
food for thought .... fabulous picture

I definitely prefer your shot of the brain over some celebrity. But, I have photographed many brains for a hunting experiment my husband is doing.

That is a great quote

A great shot, good idea to keep a brain on a bookshelf! Before I have even finished a book I have forgotten the beginning ;-)

Do you know the joke of the family waiting for a brain transplant for an ill darling? A surgeon comes out and says: "Ladies, gents, we have two brains: a male's and a female's. Which one would you prefer?" One asks "What's the difference, doctor?" And the Doctor: "The male's costs 20,000, the female's 2,000". Even in the dire situation, all male chuckle. A girl takes courage and asks "Excuse me, Doc., why this BIG difference?" - and the Doctor "Darling, the male's is practically unused!"
Nice sooc, this, Madam Summerfield.

This looks awesome on black! Very nice SOOC - and the quote that goes with this shot is wonderful.

Fabulous photo especially since it's SOOC. You are getting much better at this and only one week to go!
Perhaps I should have put your mirror shot in the six word story instead of the one i did.

Loved the story @domenicododaro
