taxi!!

took an iphone photo of taxi cabs on 42nd street
one rainy morning

 loving 

the reflections 

of the headlights 

on the slick street

 the way 

the shop lights

 were popping

 in the still 

darkness of a morning

 without sun

 when i got my new iphone

i needed a case

 i went

 to my

 'go to' 

uncommon

 hoping

 to get the same case 

i had for the iphone 4 

alas 

it was no longer available

 none of the other artist designs 

appealed

 i remembered

 the very new york feel of the taxi photo

 it wasn't as wonderful as the memory

 played with it in topaz labs simplify

 the best fix

 in my opinion 

for photos

that weren't

 really

 all that and a bag of chips

 hit it with a bit of buzzsim

 i don't know what 

buzzsim is 

or

 means 

i should google it 

(i did ... google has no idea what it means)

i do know 

i like the effect

 i liked 

what it did 

to the wet street

the lights

get uncommon

 has a very easy peasy way of uploading your photo

 a template

 for making it fit

 i ordered it

 and

 another

 a water tower shot in monochrome

 i would decide

 which one

 to would use 

when they arrived

  it took less time than expected 

tried out 

the water tower cover 

first 

then

 the taxi 

love 

the taxi

 love

 the water color feel

 love the whole distortion

now i have

 an extra cover

 for an iphone 5

see the thingie on the right sidebar?

the follower counter?

i never expected to have even 5 followers 

445 really is something

i feel optimistic 

when my followers reach 450

a drawing will be held

i will be giving it away

stay tuned!
