Photo Art...

"Patience walks the steady tread.

Faith, with uplifted eyes.

But hope, tiptoeing on ahead,

Sees first the sun arise." -Isla Paschal Richardson

Today I was going through all my old photos trying to get rid of the ones that are out of focus, do not have good composition, and those I just do not like.  They are taking up a lot of room on my computer.  So much so that my back-up with Carbonite is so far behind that if I had a computer crash, a lot of my photos would be lost.  I do have them all on an external hard drive, but that is getting pretty full as well.  It is time to toss.  As I was doing so, I got side tracked.  I have been taking a class by Kim Klassen, and photo artistry as well.  Both make pictures come alive with textures.  So here is the result of my getting side-tracked.

This man was walking the tracks by our Ice House.  I asked if I could take a picture of him, and he stopped for about 3 seconds.  I think he may be homeless, but he is home to all these little dogs.  

These are tanks a few streets down from the Ice House.  I caught them just as the sun was going down, hence the golden hue.  

Fun at the railroad tracks.  Look down the left rail and see the brother sitting and waiting.
