"Leave a Light On"

"Leave a Light On"
Added to 'Soundtrack to Life' www.ipernity.com/group/362993

I wish I could “see” when adding a texture to any of my photos what texture works successfully :-)) Anyway, included with the October issue of 'Digital Photo' magazine was a texture pack and like it or not I decided upon Texture25 here :-))

I also found the light switch! ….....okay maybe that's a fib........but, Photoshop saved the day :-)

I guess “Leave a Light On” by Belinda Carlisle is the obvious choice for Soundtrack to Life :-)

Apparently, Belinda gained worldwide fame as the lead vocalist of “the Go-Go's, one of the most successful all-female bands of all time.” I don't know where I was 'cos I ain't ever heard of the Go-Go's :-)

Anyway, Watch/Listen here -

Thanks for the link from Canada, Wendi .........'tis also a lovely picture of Belinda to look at whilst listening :-) Probably not explaining myself too well :-) What I was trying to say in a completely incoherent way is that when I put a texture with one of my photos I rarely have any idea if it really works or not :-) Yet, I look at other peeps texture work and I can see straight away if it works great or not :-) Hope that makes some sort of sense :-) And, ta ever so much for complimenting my work and for the threefer :-)))

I understand about the texture now... you don't know if it looks good to 'other' people... to hell with 'em I say... if you like it that is all that matters Roger. I consider photography art, and art is very personal. I have done pics I just love and others don't... that's ok.. we all need to be different, have our personal preferences.

Thank you much, David. Yep, I think working with textures will be a very occasional task for me :-))
