Explored! Thank you very much :-) SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE 2 NOVEMBER 2019 ANYTHING THAT HAS BEEN RENDERED OBSOLETE BUT STILL BEING USED EVERYDAY BY PEOPLE EVERYWHERE PLEASE VIEW ON BLACK :-) I do download music but then I will still copy the music to a blank cd :-) I can't imagine ever getting rid of my cd collection. I just hope that I will still be able to get blank cd's and that cd players will continue to be manufactured :-) This is one such blank cd where I added music. I photographed the cd and then copied the image a couple of times using Photoshop Elements. I used a couple of interior kitchen lights that gave the coloured lines but the colours didn't really cover the cd to my liking. I then held a torch with one hand and held the camera with my other hand. I found that by moving the torch a little at a time I was, eventually, able to get a lot more colour :-) I was very worried that I might drop the camera and the torch. And, finish up in a heap on the floor!! But, all was well :-)) For 'Sight and Sound' we will have to imagine that one of the tracks on the cd is "Please Remember Me" by Aaron Neville and Linda Ronstadt. Many moons ago I had the opportunity to buy "Linda Ronstadt - The Box Set" that was released in 1999. For some inexplicable reason I didn't buy it. Probably one reason was that I thought I would already have most of the tracks. Some weeks ago, on YouTube, I came across a version of "Please Remember Me" by Aaron Neville & Linda Ronstadt. This song was written by Rodney Crowell & Will Jennings. It features on Rodney's 1995 album "Jewell of the South". Rodney Crowell is one of my all-time fave singers and "Please Remember Me" is one of my fave songs. I could not believe that I had missed out on Aaron and Linda's marvellous version of the song. I then found out that as well as this track being on Aaron's 1997 album "To Make Me Who I Am" the track was also included in Linda's Box Set. I then found I could buy a second-hand copy of "Linda Ronstadt - The Box Set". I was worried that being second-hand it might have been a bit bashed about. But it arrived in almost mint condition! As well as three cd's of tracks that I already had or ones I was mostly familiar with, it included a cd of Rarities. Most of which were new to me. Of course I have also now bought Aaron's "To Make Me Who I Am" album :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Please Remember Me ~ Aaron Neville & Linda Ronstadt ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Or, listen here ~ Please Remember Me ~ Aaron Neville & Linda Ronstadt A box of tissues is ready at hand :-)

SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE 12 OCTOBER 2019 PORTRAY "HAPPINESS" IN A BLACK AND WHITE IMAGE. YOUR SUBJECT CAN BE ANYTHING. PROCESS AS YOU LIKE I had intended to go to Oxford this week and I'm sure I would have found a subject that portrayed "Happiness" :-) But, things worked against me and I didn't get out with my camera. I had, therefore, to resort to finding a subject at home. In the Discussion Thread Val said, "There is a lot of room for interpretation" Well, I have gone for a lots and lots of interpretation with my entry :-))) I had been listening to this album ("We Ran" released in 1998) by Linda Ronstadt. It was obvious to me that listening to any of Linda's albums brings me happiness. Linda gave so much joy and happiness to millions of people during her recording career now tragically cut short by Parkinson's disease. I fetched my camera and this is the result. The processing was done using Silver Efex Pro 2. And, for 'Sight and Sound' I have chosen "Ruler of My Heart" from the album. I especially love the saxophone playing by Plas Johnson :-) Added to Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Listen here ~ Ruler of My Heart ~ Linda Ronstadt ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ Or, listen here ~ Ruler of My Heart ~ Linda Ronstadt
