Not the Daddy by maggiemae

Not the Daddy

I guess this guy couldn't help himself holding the pram handle! This is inside the Grainstore Gallery where our ukelele band was performing. Donna Demente is the artist here and has some odd and unusual items for sale.

Three good things;
1. All went well with our performance though there were some people who left halfway through. One of our group said, " You have to pay to get out - this is how we earn some money"!
2. A fire on today for the first this year - only 13 deg high!
3. Being an adult means you can put a book down that you don't like and not have to read it to the end!
There is a lot of eyes! Great capture and finish

I find them a bit creepy, I'd have nightmares if I had them in my house 😄
March 22nd, 2015  
Like a dream scene.
March 22nd, 2015  
Great shot, love the processing
March 22nd, 2015  
What an unusual looking place! looks fabulous! :)
March 22nd, 2015  
Such a fascinating photo. VERY cool!!! Fav!
March 22nd, 2015  
Very scary eyes!! Looks an interesting place to browse. I like your processing!!
March 22nd, 2015  
Would love to wonder around here. Lovely capture
March 22nd, 2015  
Definitely worth a visit. There are some strange things to look at
March 22nd, 2015  
@kelly2 There are somethings even stranger, Irene - I'll put them on my extras album!
March 22nd, 2015  
Wonderful, wonderful detail.....the pram looks as though it's knitted! All that very original art stuff is so photogenic! You should have barred the door till you had finished maggiemae!
March 22nd, 2015  
quite the eclectic variety of artifacts! i like the guy holding onto the pram and therefore your title!
March 22nd, 2015  
Very colourful ,the bust is a bit Queen Victoria somehow ..... but those eyes they would watch you
March 22nd, 2015  
@philcameron59 It is supposed to be dear old Queenie, Phil! We are a Victorian town!
March 22nd, 2015  
@happypat Hope they all fell down the three flights of stairs - how rude going out in the middle of a performance!
March 22nd, 2015  
What a great place to visit. I would love to. Great variety of eclectic artifacts for everybody's taste.
March 22nd, 2015  
FAV can't stop looking
March 22nd, 2015  
@philcameron59 Check the other picture of some shelves!
March 22nd, 2015  
All sorts of wild and weird things by the looks of things -- I love to look around places like this !
March 22nd, 2015  
Great candid shot. That looks like it is a very interesting place
March 22nd, 2015  
@maggiemae Indeed you are so right!
March 22nd, 2015  
Awesome Shot
March 22nd, 2015  
What a great place, love your caption. Nice composition to show it. Obviously those people who left your concert before the end were not brought up proper like, as we say. Height of bad manners. Totally agree with not having to finish book but I still feel guilty if I don't!
March 22nd, 2015  
@jennywren I'm a bit of a rebel there - no guilt, just pleased I don't have to struggle reading the rest!

Just fascinating!
March 22nd, 2015  
top bit of HDR like proccessing maggie
March 22nd, 2015  
@phil_howcroft Thanks Phil - I think it makes it more like a 3d picture.
March 22nd, 2015  
Yes nice job with the HDR!
March 22nd, 2015  
Great capture..
March 22nd, 2015  
I like your comp and processing, and the presence of someone wearing her "not amused" look ...
March 23rd, 2015  
Yes I am trying to finish the Gregg Allman book, My Cross To Bear! I just really don't care for him even though there are some great stories!! Great capture of all of those eyes! My son is a Percussionist and folks would leave during a song... not great manners!! The Lady on the left freaks me out...lol again great capture!!
March 23rd, 2015  
Just the right amount of HDR to make this image leap off the screen! Fav!
March 23rd, 2015  
I would love to wander through - looks so interesting
March 23rd, 2015  
Love the eyes. I couldn't stop looking at them. Felt like they were looking deep inside me.
March 23rd, 2015  
@flygirl She's good at eyes, Dee. Most of the eyes have a deep eyelidded look.
March 23rd, 2015  
This is a fun and quirky shot- he with the hand on the pram and all those eyes!
March 23rd, 2015  
Such fun!
March 23rd, 2015  
So many eyes! I start to wonder if I have done something wrong. What an amazing place.
March 23rd, 2015  
@yaorenliu Do you think hey are judgemental eyes/ I think you see in all her 'eye' paintings, what you want to see!. Now, give all, Yao - what have you done!
March 23rd, 2015  
What a fascinating place. You do rather feel you're being watched though!
As for people walking out I hope the rest of their day was as miserable as they obviously are.
March 23rd, 2015  
@thistle Nice words, Joyce! I appreciate them!
March 23rd, 2015  
Clever shot, so much to see
March 23rd, 2015  
Lots to look at - great pov and title
March 23rd, 2015  
I LOVE this! Great composition and processing!
On the TGT....especially like #3.
March 23rd, 2015  
So well spotted and captured, Maggiemae! It's a great street scene!
March 23rd, 2015  
Love it!! Kind of tender to see him holding the pram!
March 24th, 2015  
@eyesmile I thought so too, - a moment later he had taken his hand off this!
March 24th, 2015  
Great image, and an awesome place to wander around.
March 24th, 2015
