This is the back of my album for the SSC Group. You can see the front in the PIP.

For Sight and Sound: Mariusz Duda (2020) Song of a Dying Memory Song of a Dying Memory

This week in SSC: "Surrealism" This is a little piece I like to call "Time to Feast Among the Flowers." It involves a clock, a lamp, a painting and the "Multiple Exposure" setting on my camera plus a little "Mirror" effect in PicMonkey. I sent them all into another dimension for just a few minutes to achieve the desired effect. I hope you enjoy my "Surreal" entry. :) And for Sight and Sound (it just so happens that there is a song that kinda fits): The Red Hot Chili Peppers from their album "The Getaway" (2016) Feasting on the Flowers Feasting on the Flowers

HFF to you all and a good weekend too! :) Moonlight and the night is still, before the dawn The wind cries, it is time for you to be moving on Some day you will make your way down to the shore High tide and the sailor longs for the sea once more Sail on down the days, time and tide stand still Sail on, sail away, following the wind... ..and for Sight and Sound: Robin Trower and James Dewar from the album "Caravan to Midnight" (1978) Sail On Sail On

This week in SSC: "Photographing Dishes and Dinnerware" I thought I'd feature my little creamer (with a "mirror" effect) for this challenge. ....and for Sight and Sound: Cream from their album "Goodbye" (1969) Badge Badge

This week in SSC: "Complimentary Colors" I've never purposely worked with complimentary colors before and knew nothing about them so this was a good lesson this week. I chose orange and blue for my colors because I like the way they look together. I hurt my wrist this week so I wasn't able to do as much as I would have liked. I started with an image I took of some embroidery thread and used a "kaleidoscope" effect in PIXLR to give it some interest. You can see the original and another "fractal" effect in the PiPs. (Sorry if my commenting is a little late this week.) ....and for Sight and Sound: Collective Soul from their album "Dosage" (1999) Compliment Compliment

More fun with "Tilt-Shift" in the "little" town of Bremerton Washington ..and for Sight and Sound: James Taylor from his album "Dad Loves His Work" (1981) Live with J.D. Souther: Her Town Too Album: Her Town Too

This week in SSC: Tilt Shift Photography - "A process that uses selective focus to produce an illusion of a scene to look like a miniature." I've never tried this before. It was fun finding the right type of scene for this challenge. This was taken from the 4th floor of a parking garage right before a downpour. I used "Fotor" online editor for the "Tilt Shift" effect which was pretty handy. I think I'll enjoy playing around with this in the future. This is the "small town" of Bremerton, Washington featuring the "Roxy Theater" sign which belongs to one of the town's two theaters that have been here since the 1940s. I can't even guess how many times I went to this theater as a kid. Lots of good memories here. ...and for Sight and Sound: Hal Ketchum from his album "Past the Point of Rescue" (1991) Live: Small Town Saturday Night Album: Small Town Saturday Night

This week in SSC: "Patterns in color" Well, it was off to the pantry this week for this adorable Tiki Cat pattern on my little girl's catfood. I don't usually like much advertising but these cans really catch my eye and she loves the food lol ^..^ (I processed this on PIXLR. You can see the original in the PIP.) And for Sight and Sound: Cat Stevens from his album "Mona Bone Jakon" (1970) Katmandu Katmandu

This week in SSC: "Negative or Inverted Photography" This is a lenticular print that looks 3D so it was a little tricky to photograph. I thought it might look good inverted. You can see the original in the PIP. ...and for Sight and Sound The Beatles from their "Yellow Submarine" album (1969) It's all too Much It's all too Much

For Sight and Sound Dan Fogelberg from his album "The Innocent Age" (1981) Ghosts (If you like Edgar Allan Poe): Ghosts Ghosts

I took this pic while traveling across the Narrows Bridge in Tacoma, WA. I would have loved to make the houses pink but since I don't know how I made the whole thing pink instead. I always used to color outside the lines anyway. :D Hopefully the good folks at "Sight and Sound" will let me sneak this one into their group (those admins. are pretty tough though. ;-) (Original in PIP) ♪♫ He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard ♫ ♪ John Mellencamp from album "Uh-Huh" (1983) Live: Pink Houses Pink Houses Pink Houses

This week in SSC: Use Post Processing on your photo of choice. Since last week was "no processing" whatsoever, this week "The sky's the limit!" I took a photo of some petunias and gave it an "oil painting" effect. I'll include the original in below. ...and for Sight and Sound: Bread from 1971: If If

This week in SSC: Books Ahhhh....this is number 12 in a mystery series by Louise Penny that I never want to end! Set in the mysterious town of "Three Pines" Quebec and starring "Chief Inspector Gamache" this series has kept me entertained all winter and well into the spring (thanks, Janny!) I used a little "mirror" effect to make it even more mysterious. ;-) ...and for Sight and Sound The Lovin' Spoonful from their album "Everything Playing" (1967) She is Still a Mystery to Me She is Still a Mystery to Me

This week in SSC: Keys Something from the past... An old key in an old lock on an old door to an old cabinet. (I used the "Mirror" effect in PicMonkey.) ...and for Sight and Sound Stevie Wonder from his album "Songs in the Key of Life" (1976) Pastime Paradise Pastime Paradise Pastime Paradise

This week in SSC: "Selective Color" ...and for Sight and Sound Doobie Brothers from their "Livin' on the Fault Line" album (1977) There's a Light There's a Light There's a Light
