New image-Artery

OK, I finally found something to do with the water tower pics. I'm not 100% pleased with the end results, but I like it enough to say "enough". The text element I used is a little off IMO. I took it from the same book I used in a few other images (True, Passion, and Salvation #3, and maybe one or two others) and it usually adds a lot to the image. Not this time. The book is a replica of a 18th century Encyclopedia Britannica. I suppose I don't need to worry about copyright infringement when I use shots of the pages in my images. That's an incentive to use this book, and not something more current. Plus, the old typesetting of the pages looks really wild. All the "f"s and "s"s look the same. Sucking ftrange ftuss.

In search of inspiration

I've been playing around with an old image I took of a water tower. It looked so cool when I found it, and I got a few pics that I swore would be a snap to use in an image, but every time I approach them, I seem to hit a deadend. Today has been no exception. I have a start of something here (the tangle of two of the pics) but it's stalled. I need to find a good pic to harmonize with it. So far, nothing. grrr

If you can't beat 'em

I had to switch my Blogger template. I picked the basic black template (Minima Dark) with a customized header. I thought it looked good, but the template had some sort of bug that kept dropping my header image. After a gazillion reloads of the image, I decided to just pick a new template (Rounders 3) and be done with it. The one I picked is OK, but I don't like it as much as Minima Dark. So if Blogger offers some new templates, or fixes the bugs in the old ones, then maybe I'll switch to something different. For now, this one will be OK.

Old habits (and new pic--Salvation #4)

I'm terrible with my writing sometimes. I get all enthusiastic about writing, and then when I miss a day or two, I just become complacent. I need to take this blog a little more seriously. Anyway, new pic. It's another in my Salvation series. Despite my separation from Catholicism many many years ago, I still like the icons from that religion. I suppose they don't have the same impact for non-christians, or perhaps it's a different sort of impact. This crucifix had a small star of David embedded in the top, which I thought was interesting. So there it is.
