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?
