I'm so glad my vintage camera post brought back fond memories for some of you. Isn't it funny how you can see, smell, taste, or even feel something and those memories will come flooding back in an instant...the brain is miraculous that way!
And Kelly J, I've never noticed Loic's collection of vintage cameras at Cafe Des Artistes (which is a lovely little French restaurant located in Leonardtown), I will have to look for them next time I dine there!
I woke up at 4:45 AM this morning...don't ask me why...and I couldn't go back to sleep! I hate it when that happens, sleep is my very good friend. I need more than 4 hours and 45 minutes of shut eye...I didn't go to bed until the bewitching hour last night.
While I was playing around with actions and textures on these photos tonight, Mr. Tide tried to convince me that I had already posted them. And I'm so tired that I actually thought he was right...but he was imagining things. It's ok though, because he's ever so slowly cracking on the whole "no puppy" rule!
I had fun playing with different textures, but finally my eyes grew weary and I knew it was time to just call it a day!
I'm WAY far behind on my blog reading, house cleaning, laundry, but I will get caught up on all of that after I've had a little more shut eye tonight. Right now I'm just plum tired and so I will bid you all adieu for the evening and wish you a happy Thursday, which is always a happy day because it means we are all that much closer to the weekend. Bonne nuit a tous!

Are those little books or is that clam shell huge? The texture on those starfish is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHehe, good question! They are little children's books only about 4 or 5 inches long, but it is a relatively big shell.

Kat, love the pictures, especially the black and white! Hope you get some sleep!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos...you function well on little sleep!
ReplyDeleteXO,

Gorgeous photographs! I'm particularly fond of the rugged large shell..., they're all around here! My husband gets up at 4AM!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Kat! Hope that restful sleep comes to you tonight!
ReplyDeleteHello Kat,
ReplyDeleteYour images are so beautiful. I just love what you did....You are so talented.
You were getting up when I was going to bed....: )))
I hope you get some rest tonight.
Take Care,
Maria
P.S. I haven't figured out how to apply textures yet. I just bought my first set of textures and actions.. I am loving it... even though I have no idea what I am doing.
i was up at 5am yesterday but i m much better when i wake up at 9.i ve got a small Panasonic Lumix but i m thinking i would like a better camera now. good luck with the "puppy"
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Anything with hells makes me smile. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteSO sorry the word is SHELLS. I guess I'm a little tired too.
ReplyDeletewhen hubby finally *cracks* bout the puppy please please tell me how you did it i have begged for over 2 yrs now for a new boxer puppy (lost our Jordan after 13 yrs) i leave pics laying around books email everything but drag him to a breeder or rescuse ctr and to no prevail...whats odd is i always get what i want eventually but never ever took 2 yrs!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am up with you but with way less clarity than you have or drive to be creative, just want my coffee and quiet. Doesn't happen by the way, you know what it is like around here.
ReplyDeleteHA! A puppy a day keeps the doctor away... well, kinda sorta.
ReplyDeleteI thought I would lose my mind from lack of sleep the first 2-3 weeks with Rowdy in our life. Sleep deprivation makes an old woman grumpy, and also makes her bump into walls during the daytime.

I just love shells and I love how you can see the texture in that photo !!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Kat! I love the textures and you are doing so great with them! I had to smile at the puppy thing...:) I hope you get some rest and have a wonderful Thursday!
ReplyDeleteSleep is a good and needed friend. I hope you rest better next time. Beautiful images. ♥O
ReplyDeleteI'm positively worthless if I get less than seven hours sleep. I haven't tried textures yet. I'm a bit intimidated, I'll admit. Sure are pretty though.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
How did you number your comments? I googled that all morning and changed code and all sorts of stuff, and it never happened.
ReplyDeleteBrenda
I'm thinking that mention of the puppy in your most recent post was a clever tease! ~Lili
ReplyDeleteKat - have you found Kim Klassen yet? She breathtakingly fantastic at photoshop. She offers free classes. One is Photoshop The Skinny and that walks you thru the very basics of photoshop and then some. It's an invaluable help for those of us who didn't have a clue before. She also has a 'cookbook' for sale with all sorts of samples, step-by-step directions, textures, etc She's fantastic. go to www.kimklassencafe and see for yourself. you are so lucky getting the pup. i cannot convice my hubby that we need a third dog. good luck
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, I can't reply to your comments via email, because I get that silly no comment reply thingie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the suggestion to visit Kim's site. I know Kate from A Country Girl uses Kim Klassen textures and has mentioned her several times. So I'm off to check out her site...thank you!
Kat :)
