There is a certain sweet familiarity
about rusty old friends
who wobble and groan
and creak and moan
like me.

I do believe the best photography tips are the ones that tell us how to look more carefully around our everyday world.
Magic is the ultimate ingredient that negates the necessity to lug around the hated camera’s hieroglyphic instruction booklet.
And magic can elevate the photographer to something above novice status.
You can be an impressionistic art photographer too – in one easy lesson!
To find photographic art in mundane places
peer around in your ordinary world.
The messy kitchen or family room will do
for there is Art (no, not a man!) lurking in every corner!
It’s all in how you look at him/it
or how you resort to camera magic to fool your one eye.
Yes, try closing one eye (Um – I do that anyway)
But the idea is to get a skewed perspective.
Skewed perspective = Magic = professional results!
I tried this yesterday.
Without leaving the chair I simply moved in close to take a picture of the details in a paper napkin! Wow! When enlarged (cropped) it resembled imprints in the sand! With a bit of imagination and one eye I could even see some little swirly creatures too.
The happy result was that yesterday’s post was a mystery photo of fossil imprints in the sand!
And all the time it was just an enlarged rendition of a Vanity Fair paper napkin (available at most local U.S. grocery stores).
Voila!
Photographer graduated to artist proficient in the skill of reflective deception.

#1 – I was looking out the window at a hanging branch as I was parked beneath a tree.
#2 – There was a reflection of that hanging branch in the side mirror.
#3 – There was another reflection of the hanging branch in the “eye” mirror.
Which view was the real view?
