Each week Cee of Cee’s Photography challenges bloggers with a fun prompt. This week we’re to find photos of subjects that feature black and white, mirrors, airports, clouds, reflection, vehicles or power lines.
I decided to use a photo of my sister’s dog. I’m trying to use it for a craft project after I trace it in Illustrator. We’ll see how that works out.
Join the fun.

Here’s my first stab at a video Weekend Coffee Share using a video on Adobe’s Spark, which is free. (So many Adobe products are very expensive IMHO.)
There’s a tune that will play so mute your computer if that’s a problem.
The video didn’t take long to make, maybe 30 minutes, but that is longer than to just write a post, but I’ve been stretching my creativity this past week, which I’ve enjoyed.
This week we’re prompted to post photos of photographers. Quite meta, huh?
I think the old days of big, bulky cameras is quite romantic, while the small compact cameras like the one with the lady holding a hair brush (for reasons that escape me).

I have no idea why she’s holding the brush like that. The description didn’t say.

Dr. Crawford was one of the doctors who went to American Ambulance Hospital in Paris during World War I in 1914.
Above is a group of photos of old cameras. I remember my first instamatic. It didn’t have the full flashbulb attachment, but I do remember those too.

Tell Me Something Good is a simple challenge that prompts bloggers to share a nugget of positive news or wisdom and it’s started by the creator of A Momma’s View.
So for all of you who would like to play along and stick to the rules, here they are:
It’s easy:
• Mention something that you consider being good in the comments
• Or write a post about it on your blog (please don’t forget the pingback if you do so I don’t miss out and also share the link to it in the comments below). Something good that happened to you recently, or something good you will experience in a little while, or something good you know will happen soon. Something that makes you feel good.
• Share this post and invite your followers as well.
Trick photography. Illusions. What a fun prompt. Here’s what I found online:

This super example of rick photography was featured in a Mental Floss article called “7 Photographic Tricks, Hoaxes, and Fads Before Photoshop.”
