If you went to Photoshop World in Vegas at the end of last year and made it to the Art of Digital Photography Panel you would have got to have seen the Master of Self Projects Joe Glyda do an amazing photo slide show based on just “looking up.” Seeing what is above you because sometimes you are so busy looking straight ahead that you miss the world going on around you.
So while I was in New Mexico, I decided to take a bit of time and look down. While I didn’t find as much as I would have liked I did find a few things that were fun to shoot.
First up with this old water meter cover that while it didn’t do anything for me in color worked created with a bit of Silver Efex Pro’s Holga filter added, with a few modifications of my own thrown in.
The 2nd, and slightly more odd is this old set of can opener keys from (at least what I can figure) is the remnants of an old sardine can that was laying on the porch floor boards of an old house.
So while I didn’t find much on my little self project in New Mexico I leave you with this thought. Make sure you take time to really see what is going on around you in the world. You may pass by the photo of a life time if you don’t stop and take a look around. With our busy lives these days it isn’t always an easy thing to do, but I encourage you to try…
