With all the rain outside and it getting dark so early, I didn't have many options for a subject today. Eventually I centered on my purse, and got several really cool close ups. This one I liked because it was a tiny part of the front that was full of interesting textures and angles. To edit, I applied a black and white effect but left some of the stitches their original blue color to add some interest and highlights to the image. Plus, I love the color blue.
Yesterday my mom, sister, and I went to a local swap meet to sell some rabbits. As usual, I tend to walk around and look at other booths. These display of wallets was in one of my favorite booths, where they sell saddles, bridles, and purses. I painted on black and white and left one pink wallet in color to give a focal point and make the photo less busy.
I felt like doing another macro image, and also wanted interest and a focal point. So I decided to photograph the purse my parents gave me for my birthday. It amazes me how much detail is put into one of these purses.
