I went out a few times for this challenge and also watched the documentary on Vivian Maier. After seeing that, I decided I had to change this photo to B&W. This man passed us as we wee sitting on a bench next to the one he sat down on. He was quite elderly and was using a golf club for a cane. He said hello and then sat down on bench next to us about 15-20 feet away. After seeing the film on Vivian, I now wish I had engaged in conversation with him...not sure why he looked so down or maybe just tired...what was going on in his mind???

A pair of calipers that my Grandfather used at work. He had many sizes but this one is 3-1/2” tall. I chose it for the letter “A”.

This is a little sign that was gifted to me a couple of years ago. I like the writing - and decided to tilt the lines and push in so the visual impact was stronger than reading the message. Edited in Prisma app with Aircraft

While my quilt collection is pretty hefty, showing it in a photo wasn't really reasonable. But I do have a collection of smoking pipes. This is just a portion of them. I thought about doing all sorts of things in laying them out, but in the end, decided to show the collection as it is - nothing fancy - just providing the impact of how they are presented in the pipe cabinet. I edited with the City Flare option in Topaz, but reduced it significantly - and added a bit of smart sharpen. The left side had its own natural shadow vignette - so I darkened on the right to balance that effect.
