I have been having lots of fun with Instagram a phone app where my handle is biffwix. It's sort of instant blogging without having to think of anything to say, and I get to see pictures of Russia and London and France --all super eye candy. And then there are the filters.....
The top two pictures manage to make the rail-yards outside Penn Station mildly romantic --that and the filth on the windows.
The other afternoon I went for a walk down 20th Street and took photos of windows. The filter 'Earlybird' makes everything sort of sepia-saga-ish.....hm.........
Ah, the mysteries behind lace curtains!
This, actually is the fade color thing on Iphoto.
When you go west of 10th Avenue the mood changes.
This is the world's first mobile skateboard/snack truck....so it says.
This is a much bolder filter --you don't really want sepia for black metal and red tail lights. So you can tint your photos to enhance something or other --a bit like putting on 'mood music'. And so we manipulate the world.....
