Nice Stone Wall, Jackson

Look In On Us Any Time

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


This is for Annie of Little Rock Daily Photo, whose work always brings a smile to my face. Her recent post Afternoon Pleasure reminded me of a couple of shots in my own portfolio because she took that particular shot through a rusty metal grate. Yes, I like shooting through impromptu frames as well, as you can see by the shot above, taken with a Canon EOS 3000. I was in Quebec City at the time, walking through the Lower Town. Through this centuries-old historic brickwork, I saw a nook that offered great shopping. The mortar and the metal spike are in soft focus, while I've concentrated on the interior, where you can see some garments on display and some hanging baskets of petunias.

That's a cool photo, David. I just took something similar in Chicago that I'll be posting on my blog shortly. If you wouldn't mind having a peek at it I'll let you know when it's posted. I must say I was thinking, "Now David would really find this intersting." Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm purchasing a new digital in a few days and may have some questions for you later, if you don't mind.

That is an incredible, and rather inviting photograph.

I am envious of your ability to write a catchy headline! I need to try harder!

You'd think an old ad man could handle it with ease.

Those kinds of pics are always the most interesting.

That's just beautiful, David. Your photo, like the shop, does invite us in. I think every commenter here likes it a lot, just as I do.

Hi Mushy,

I am envious of your writing ability, my friend. Headline? They just seem to pop up into my head, calling ``Use me, use me'' .....

You have many talents. We are lucky to know you.

Keep smiling

G'day Hammer,

Thank you. I do enjoy taking shots that are a little ``different''.

Keep smiling

G'day BTBear,

Don't remember seeing any bears there - but there's always a first time for a particularly well-bred British bear with a huge fan club such as yours.

Keep smiling

Hi Annie,

Thank you for that generous comment. Like I said to Gina, the shot just ``invited'' me to capture it.

Keep smiling

Thank you, Dan,

It's all a learning curve - and following your instinct when you see a sight like that.

Always great to hear from you.

Keep smiling

David
