Painfull fingers...

Family was cleaning out the attic and they called me to help them out... They had three guitars and only wanted to keep one, if I could advise them... Since I played in a band before they thought I could advice them which to keep... In the end I ended up with two guitars in the back of the car driving home...
One of them I really liked, the other could end-up as a play/dummy guitar for son and daughter...
I took them to the local guitar builder (after guitar two had fallen on its side and broke in two) and asked him for advice...
Guitar number two was a nice art piece for on the wall he said and he adjusted guitar number one and put new strings on it... (Just look at that neck! Ain't that just RocknRoll?)Ok, now I only needed to play the bugger...
Through internet I ended on in10lessons website and now on a daily basis I practise with my on-line guitar teacher... Playing guitar for dummies...
Love it! New daily challenge!
(Auch, my fingers...)

I just knew it...

According to a stockphoto website one of the new trends for
2014 is Lens Flare
I often get the idea, I'm ahead of trends. Often I'm looking for stuff and one of two years later you'll find it in every store.
I've been doing my best to catch lens flare so often to create that extra interesting thing in a pica. The one above I caught in 2011...!!!
And in my Project 52 I catch things with my smartphone, following a list of theme's, one for every week. One pica a week... Look at number 6 in the list... I rest my case...

1. Diverse women
2. Hands-on dads
3. Beards
4. Lens Flare
5. Man as machine
6. Cameras we wear
7. Multi-racial models
8. 2014 FIFA World Cup
9. Witches
10. Handcrafted vectors
11. Intagrammy food shots
12. Experiences over things
13. Creative collaboration

"Lens flare...
Lens flare is no longer seen as a technical mistake but a way to achieve authenticity..."
