PICTURES THAT TELL A STORY
"Tell me a story" is a request that begins in early childhood. Almost all children love stories. So do most adults!
When you're visiting a new country, meeting new people, or just walking down your home street, there are story/picture possibilities everywhere.
What's happening around you? What's new? What makes you stop for a second look. Don't worry about taking the "perfect" picture. New photo software allows you to correct almost any mistakes you make - sharpening the pictures, increasing the contrast, even getting rid of trees or other people by cropping or moving colors over them.
Here are a series of pictures I have taken over the years. Often they tell a story. Or sometimes the story is the picture itself. Included are some tips about how the pictures were improved in the "digital darkroom" of computer software, in this case, Photoshop Elements 5.
