The Gospel

"God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees and in the flowers and clouds and stars."

Pink Tractor

Heading southeast to the Florida coast. We spent most of the day on the road, no time for photos.



But lurking right behind the Best Western, here in northern Georgia, a pink tractor. Of course I edited it through several photo apps , but it started out pink, well almost pink. Pink enough...it looked pink, honest!

Just When I Thought I Had Tried Everyhing

Just when I thought I had tried everything...well most everything, Pam Carriker introduced hand carved stamps into the art mix in her 365 Journal class!

Using images and photos from previous journal pages , I traced cone flowers and lettering and combined them with some doodling to create this stamp. Transfer the image to the linoleum block and carve...


Of course we have to take photos of everything, and then in turn I have to edited photos with assorted iPhone apps.


We start with your basic stamped image and then apply PhotoStudio.....


And no photo editing is complete without a trip through CinemaFX


Back to the drawing board!

Neon along the Morgan Ford

It's addictive, iPhone photography...I can't just take a photo.


























I can't just crop it or adjust the contrast.






















So many photo apps.... And only 7 gigs of space remaining.























Time to weed the collection.

Artful Blogging - that's my photo!

A confession: as I write there are 3,562 photos on my 16 gig iPhone. Yes, I've saved them to my computer, but I can't bear to delete them from the phone.




























This photo was taken in Washington D.C. During the great blizzard of 2010. It was taken outside of The Natural History Museum. It had just started snowing.

I love the iPhone Camera and all the photo apps. I think I have 27. Most every photo I take is processed through at least two apps , and usually more. Which explains the enormous number of photos on my phone.

This photo was posted to Chrysti's and Susan 's Echo challenge. A biweekly photo prompt. My photo represents "dim". You can see more Echo photos by clicking on the Echo link in the sidebar.

I am honored to have it included in Chrysti's article in the Autumn 2010 Artful Blogger Magazine. My copy arrived today. I have been stalking the mail carrier since August 1.





























I have a wonderful Digital SLR Canon EOS 30, that I enjoy using. I also enjoy editing with Photoshop Elements, but there is something about the immediate gratification received while shooting and editing and blogging with my phone that I am unable to resist.

Warning to family and friends, I'll just happen to have my copy of the magazine in my possession for the next several weeks. Bear with me. Thanks!

Gabby & Malena

Oak Hill Presbyterian Church has an incredible youth group. They've teamed up with the older folks and headed out to Griffin, GA to help with home repairs for families in need.

So far we've painted a bathroom and have been replacing a front porch. I use the term "we" loosely. I did dig a hole under the porch! But my best work is posting photos on facebook that I have edited at length with my iPhone apps. I really like this one of Gabby and Malena with the cat. They were taking a break from bathroom painting a posed for this shot, I edited it with Camera Bag - Magazine.

Blogging with the iPhone is great but I can't make the pictures shout from the page, I really want them bigger, so I may do some editing when I get back to St. Louis.

Project 365 Photo Journal

One photo each day with your iPhone. I love it. How many photo apps do you have? Can you have too many? Some people collect shoes.....others iPhone apps, they're cheaper and take up less space.
