Having Fun With My Photos

I have been having a lot of fun with my photos!  I always have fun taking photos, but I have never spent much time playing around with them - or using any special effects.  To me, trying to get the different effects that I was thinking about - and could see in my mind - involved countless hours trying to get that same effect using PhotoShop.  I took a class from a graphic artist/designer, who helped me "simplify" exactly what I was trying to do.  She helped me have "fun" working with my photos!  These three photos were taken in the South of France and are in the "Local Exposure" Show at Gallery 725.  A friend of mine calls this look the "painterly" look.

This Fashion Wall was taken in Eze.

This Almost Empty Wall was taken in Riez.

This Graffiti Wall was taken in Cotignac.
