PMAE No 19

Lesson for today is to be open to something different. I had walked down this alley with the express purpose of taking a shot of another mural when I saw these pieces of a old mural and liked it. This is a 2-fer, the nifty fifty sooc and the dogwood 52 week challenge. Our assignment was to 'learn sneaker zoom' Shoot an image using only the 50mm focal length. Ha! just perfect timing since I am really trying to only use 50mm this month.
Great shot! I love all those murals!

(Took me a minute on that "sneaker zoom"! Haha)

A great mural has such a moody feel to it. What does PMAE stand for?

NIce shot. Great eye. I like that mural. Where was the alley where you found it?

I like this -- well spotted and a good capture of the start of the decay.

@shesnapped Thank you so much, the alley seems to shed its skin, so to speak and this one gets very creative.

@megpicatilly The various pieces aren't really related, being by one particular artist- I like how to relate anyway. PMAE stands for "Pushing My Artist Envelope". I decided that I needed to make myself stayed focused so, I am going to shoot my 3rd year in B&W. I am liking things so far.

@mbrutus Thank you, this alley is in Flag between Rt 66 and Aspen Street. I should make at least a monthly sojourn there since the art changes a lot.

@taffy Thank you kindly, alleys have so much potential for things to shoot.

I love this, remembers me of the work by Mimmo Rotella, an Italian pop-artist, who specialized in "décollages" - i.e. artworks made by stripping various parts of mural ads layered on the walls over time.

Nice shot.

@domenicododaro Thank you, I am humbled. Mr. Rotella's work is inspiring.

@haskar Thank you very much.
