look ma, no hands

thats a rooftop at the cloisters

 up in fort tryon park

 a subway and bus ride

 from the uws

 took this

 the first time

 i

 'traveled'

 with my friend mary

  many of you

 have asked after her

sent her well wishes

she is indeed

 on the mend

 back at work

   i had nothing prepared here 

to share

 but

 last evening

 (really right now, but not the right now you are in right now)

 i sat with lisa's excellent instructions

 a photo that needed nothing

but

  i like it 

i added

 a texture

 lisa shared with me 

called brest 

i messed up

 'brushed' away
too much

 so
 i added pixel layer

and 

 cloned it back!

 - look ma, no hands -

i didnt cry once!

have you fought photoshop and won?
