Day 107 - African Adventure

No, unfortunately it's not me that's going on an African adventure. However, my stepson Christopher is and he's taking my old camera so I guess you could say parts of me are going. Christopher is going to Malawi with a group of students from Bishop's University. He's just finished his Psychology degree and was invited to do some research on community. He's excited about the experience and is ready to have his eyes and mind opened. He's promised to take pictures so we can see part of the adventure through his eyes.

Day 89 - That's Mr. Potato Head Vader to you

It's that time of the year when the snow is dirty and there isn't a whole lot of colour to capture outside. To top that off I left my photo until later in the day. I searched around the house and found these two characters in Christopher's room. We bought these for him a couple years ago as a joke gift. He's a big Star Wars fan and although he was 21 at the time, we knew he'd appreciate these guys. He didn't bring them to university with him but they have a spot on the top of his bookshelf. I took them down, posed them and then added a plastic wrap filter in Photoshop. I've seen some beautiful use of filters on the blogs I follow. Now I just need to sit down and play around with them a bit more. I especially like the ones I've seen with flower pics. Thanks to all for your inspiration.
