Photo manipulation wine glass and pearls

With all the programs that allow you to manipulate photos you can take a bad photo and make it into better one. This was done in Microsoft Office Picture Manager. Picasso is also a great and free photo manipulation program that works well especially for blogs. The difference between the 2 programs is they allow you to do different types of  manipulation. Setting up photo shoots are good practice and a great way to explore photography. Canvas on Demand places your photo on a canvas creating a work of art for your home of office. 

Let your creativity go and enjoy the world of the arts!

Our family of mans best friends

 This is my family of dogs that have brought a lot of happiness to our family for many years. This year we have lost 2 of our family members and this is a post is in memory of them. The 1st and 4th photo is Pompie and she loved us very much. We miss her a lot and want her memory to last forever in this blog. Her love for us was totally unconditional. The second photo is Sammy and he was born to please us. He got cancer in his eye and after surgery we had him for several months before he left this world. I know Sammy and Pompie will meet us in heaven someday as they brought 14 years of joy to our lives. The 3rd photo is Roosevelt and he continues to be an active member of our lives. We love him and he is a big baby. He would not harm a flea. Tye Tye is the 5th photo and she was the mother of all these great kids. She is alive and well other than a little arthritis. She is 16 years old and everyday she is with us we are grateful. After having 4 dogs for 14 years the deaths of Tye Tye's kids within months of each other have made this a very hard year. Our house seems empty. Tye Tye and Roosevelt are still alive and well. When they are gone this white German Shepard chow mix will be gone forever. This post will keep them in our lives and our hearts forever. God Bless Our Amazing Dogs!

Photo of welder

Photo by Kelly Frank

This shot took several times to get the sparks in action of the welder. By adjusting shutter speed and a little luck I really enjoyed this challenge. Photography is fun and all I have to say is relax and enjoy whatever your talent is. Whether you think its good or bad is not the point. I like it and that is what is important. I think this is a work of art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder as they say. Comments welcomed!

Iris of 2011

Using Picnic software to manipulate this photo adds some variety to the photograph. These are just free manipulations but you can purchase Premium to have additional options. Just think about how digital cameras have changed the computer world in a short time. What is the next technology that will transform the future of blogging and the internet? Just think there is some youth or adult with the next fascinating invention that will change the world as we know it today. If you noticed I said any age of person could transform the on-line technology. We have only had personal computers since 1985 and there is a generation that currently never has known a world without computers and digital cameras. Where there come a day that when you say DVD that a child will not know what you are talking about. The speed that life is changed by technology is ancient in the blink of an eye. Don't blink or you will miss it!

The world, moon and Kansas

The moon viewed from where I stood in eastern Kansas which the camera was able to capture my perspective but not the color. The Western Hemisphere viewed the exact same moon from a different perspective according to where they stood at that exact moment. Millions of people shared the same view of the this moon yet there picture would reflect a whole new perspective. By experimenting with photography at night I aim to capture the vivid colors actually I see. Sometimes photos capture odd things not seen by the human eye. Challenge yourself to capture the true artistic colors of God's palette!

Decorating With Your Own Photos

Make your home beautiful by making your personal photo's into your own gallery. Restoring old photos that are tucked away in a drawer can be hung on the wall to decorate your home. Your home is your palace so make it unique by hanging up personal photos that look like an expert photographer took. Preserve your legacy and decorate your home at the same time.

With all the new technology the sky is the limit. There are many companies that will revive these memories and you can actually turn your old photos into works of art that becomes apart of the decor for your home. Being an artist I have photos that are aging and just sitting around dwindling to nothing. Not anymore!
