Final Days

My get-pushed challenge this week was to do a selfie with objects or places. Well I went to work at Rufus again on Wednesday morning but it may have been my last day to work at the old place. The closing on the land is probably going to happen the first of December. We are moving the bookkeeping to Dan's business office so we can finalize everything. That is supposed to happen this month. I won't go there until the end of the month. So 21 years is really winding down and this is me - driving to work, parking the car, going into the building, sitting at the bosses desk(the program we use is on his computer), looking out at the empty office, looking at the big office area with no one there any more, looking out at the empty yard, looking at my old office, and the Rufus logo.

@miseria here is my answer to your challenge.

[FBailey]

This is a novel concept (to me at any rate) and I think you've done a great job

[Connie Little]

Great take on a selfie challenge. You would have mixed emotions about all this so a great record for yourself too. Great collage.

[Wendy]

A super collage of the ending of an era. Well done!

[Jane Pittenger]

Melancholy feel here

[KWind]

Nice collage!

[Candace]

A chapter closing!

[Danette Thompson]

Cool commemoration.

[Taffy]

You capture the feel of a rural environment.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific collage :)

@littleconnie On one hand I hate going in because I have to get in so early to get a parking place and yes after 21 years I will miss it.

[Joan Robillard]

@jgpittenger I have taken pictures with my regular camera and think it always looks depressing. So took these with cellphone and didn't edit.

[Joan Robillard]

@taffy Funny how your life experiences color your views. This is in Portland - our big city - not rural to us. But compared to cities like Chicago I suppose it is rural.

[Paul]

Nicely done. Soundsand looks kinda sad the way you've described and photographed it :/

[Sally Ings]

The end of a chapter, cool way to represent it and tell a story about you without actually showing you in person. Nice response to your challenge.

[lisa]

A beautiful story telling collage.

@joansmor Hi Joan, We are get-pushed partner for the week to come. I had a look to your past photos and past challenges (using your tag for get-pushed). I also took note of your remarks on your profile page.

For this week, I would like to push you to the "Rules of Odd". THis mean that you need to have 3 or 5 or 7 etc. objects (or subjects) in your photo. (One (1) does not qualify!!

I find a very nice shot with this Rules of Odd in your album on 4 august 2017 (the 3 birds).

Some more explanation on Rule of Odds can be found here: https://digital-photography-school.com/the-odd-rule-of-composition/

here is an example that i just found and like very much: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b8/a2/54/b8a254942e86f5f9dc6fe90624322518--human-eye-negative-space.jpg

have fun!

[Jennifer]

it's sad when an era ends. at least you have a great collage to remember it by

[tony gig]

Wonderful.

[Margaret Brown]

A nice collage and the end of an era, so sad

[Joan Robillard]

@vincent24 I am a digital scrapper and use the rule of odds in all most all my pages so easy peasy. Will look at your shots soon and issue a challenge,

[Kathryn]

Great chance to document a transition day.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The collage really shows how things are coming to a close in so many ways. I hope the move goes smoothly and that you all settle into the new place quickly. Good collage!

[Miseria]

I like how this tells a story and gives a sense of your perspective!

[David]

Very good presentation with a feeling of loss.

[Vincent]

@joansmor Hi Joan, missed your response to my challenge up there. Why then not trying the "Rules of odds" in SOOC. (not postprocessing).

[Joan Robillard]

I already have one processed to post - nJust waiting to see if I find something better.
