Out with the Old and in with the New.
What I love most about my photography (aside from the fact that this image is a scan) - is being surprised by what I've captured.
So, there I was putting away the groceries this afternoon, when I noticed the first of my Christmas roses was going. And it was leaving in a stunning manner... all these leathery wrinkles.
So, I plucked it out and took it to my studio and tried to take some pictures. Haven't looked at them just yet. ... perhaps I will be surprised again, but it didn't seem to be going all that well.
Trying a different approach, I laid the rose on the scanner. That went OK. And then I happened to zoom in.
Wonderful surprise!
The rose has these Maurice Chevalier lips...
kissing the old year good bye.

These comments are moderated and I am letting this blatant maternal bragging through, because Mom at 82yrs old, figured out how to leave a comment all on her own!
And I say, "Go for it, Mom!"
(And besides she left it at 11:21 New Years eve and I was long asleep by then.)
