About I collect.
I collect all manner of things, like old bottles that are now hidden behind dusty curtains I cannot reach to take down off the tracks to clean them.
Only at sunrise do these oddities I mostly forget about, reveal themselves as shadow props behind the dusty and untidy creases of ancient curtains. Other times of the day, I don't really notice the dust and cobwebs invading that which were once reasonable quality creamy yellowish/gold curtains, that some people call drapes.
What is the differece between curtains and drapes???

This image was shot (handheld, with me kneeling on my desk.... lol...) on the same morning as Golden Sunrise.

Only adjustments in PS are a crop and auto levels which surprised me as they dramatically altered the colours, picking up a lot more blue than my naked eye perceived, and somehow, it pleases me!!!
Unsharp mask and also sharpen edges.

What a strange shot of something that is usually "hidden". You can see part of another old bottle at far viewing right of frame, but the sun would not illuminate it in the same manner, so it held less importance for me.

Probably this sad image is quite repulsive to viewers. However, to me, there is an element of enchantment about it.

It was not an easy shot to make, as the morning was windy, blowing leaves of my dense trees around, obscuring the light, and I had to wait for a quick "break" to "catch" the chinks on the bottle in the places that I like.

These are like secrets. These are like magick things that appear briefly, then "poooof!"... they are gone!

My mood is strange, as is this image. :)

I would appreciate any constructive comments and thank you for viewing. :)

Aniko, I think this whole scene is very artistic and beside that I think that bottle is great. My wife and I were in the antique business for 25 years and I have appreciation for old bottles and such. BILL NAGY


Stephen Sarhad   {K:246} 12/12/2007
Great image!
Nice touch framing the bottle with the curtains.

You ARE a very creative, continuously searching artist, Aniko! And I prey you stay like this! This creation invites poetic musing! Its beauty is delicate, as if it knows it will not last..... You never cease to impress us,my wife and me! Wish you Season's Greetings and a better New Year 2008!

Dear Bill!

Many thanks as always for your kind comments.
Finally I reply, but am in much pain with my broken elbow... (which is why I have not been in UF for so long...my elbow requires surgery. I find even small tasks like typing hugely difficult.)
My best wishes to you my friend,
Aniko :)

Dear YT!

Many thanks as always for your kind comments.
Finally I reply, but am in much pain with my broken elbow... (which is why I have not been in UF for so long...my elbow requires surgery. I find even small tasks like typing hugely difficult... especially frustrating not being able to hold a camera...)

My best wishes to you and your lovely wife, my friend!

Dear Aniko, I am so sorry to hear about your elbow. Please take good care of it. I have missed your contacts with me lately and now that I know the reason I really feel bad for you. I am going to Hawaii on feb. 6th for two weeks so I should have some good photos when I return. Good luck with your surgery and my prayers will be with you. BILL NAGY


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 1/27/2008
I have missed our contacts too Dear Bill.

Enjoy your trip and I look forward to seeing your pics! :)

Thank you for your kind wishes and prayers.

All the very best,
Aniko :)


Stephen Sarhad   {K:246} 1/27/2008
Dear Aniko,
I hope all goes well with your surgery, and that you'll be back behind the lens real soon.
Hurry back --- missing your images.
...Steve...


Aniko Heart   {K:25957} 1/29/2008
Many thanks Dear Steve!

One breath at a time, and until I can get back behind the lens, I might post a few older pics soon as I really miss being in UF with my friends and sharing our images and communications.

Warm Regards,
Aniko :)
