Catch of the Day - More Bottles Behind Bars

Bottles Behind Bars -
"100% Black Gold Lagro"

Behind every bar, there is a display of bottles in various stages of usage. Mostly they are bottom lit, often in colors. Glass distortions, reflections, refractions, layers of meaning and history - and for me,even more reason to enjoy a pleasant place.

This one uses a dream filter, a comic filter, a paint filter, an edge filter, and lots of selective layering and hand work. That's the fun part, for me. Mostly Camera360 and Photoshop.

Accepted for juried exhibition.

This one is a sort of collage of several photos taken of an amazing ornamental cabbage that was still growing despite considerable winter damage.

Bottles Behind Bars -
"The Original"

Bottles at bars with lights. Great combo!

I've been using Camera360 more and more. I especially like the way it saves the original information, so you can change the filter over and over. "The Original" uses several different filters, combined with Blender. I also used Retouch, Noise Master, Auto Adjust, and I forget what all else.

The end of an era -- Frager's Fire

6/6/2013

The end of an era. A four-alarm fire, over 200 fire fighters, over 50 pieces of equipment. At one point, more than 20,000 gallons of water a minute were being thrown at the blaze, which hardly seemed to notice. We watched for a couple of hours, endless roiling clouds of angry black smoke and leaping flames.

A neighborhood institution, gone. Just gone. All of it. They plan to rebuild, but it just won't be the same.

The aftermath ...

The next morning, firefighters are still pumping water in. There is a halo of broken glass all around the buildings where the window exploded out. The trees are surprisingly green, but they were well watered as the flames blazed out the windows and through the roof. I think the basements all must be completely filled with water.

The plants in the open garden section looked fine, but they were also well watered last night.
