Hurry up. This is embarrassing me.

Arms and the Girl

What a place for selotape!

Hooked

This a set of images of concrete cylinders with added extras.

These can be rope, slides, photos, statuettes, rust and so on.

These two photos were taken on my way 

to buy a newspaper from the Nisa store.

It being a lovely morning I took the pretty way.

And I found a new housing estate in construction

of enormous size by Persimmon.

The onion man.
A cautionary story about eating too many onions.

Our Living Room after Magritte has been redecorating it.

Maybe not but it was an interesting exercise in making this image.

Wasted Belfast

This was taken during a recent trip to Belfast close to a 

huge Peace Wall (just visible on the right).

This was simply a bike taken against the light implying
that the lady has just propped it up on the kerb.
The treatment was in the Adobe Raw Converter.

Balance of Life

Speed

Many Hands

From the rim of a clock. Ideal for a surreal image perhaps.

Specially for Mike Pitt Huntingdon U3A

How disputes were settled. Note the carnage.

All these images were taken from Chap Books that used to circulate in the middle ages printed cheaply so not many have survived. They usually have interesting and highly unlikely stories to tell.

Surreal Photos - Carol's Day Out At Bosham

A small collection of my surreal type pictures. My U3A students liked my demonstration when constructing the first image -  their help and suggestions have made this image what it is now!

Note the broken heart and the dripping blood and the unanswered phone. Why is it ringing? What is the significance of the bent watch -  could it be melting Camembert cheese as Dali might have said?
