~WHEN A PHOTO IS NOT JUST A PHOTO~

I got this great email from a really cool lady named Carol...who I wish had a blog because you would all love her. She said I could share these with all of you. I really was amazed at the creativity and vision of these photographers. I hope you enjoy them too.

I hadn't received this group of photos in an email yet. They are cool! It's always great when someone has an artist's eye and sees what's not so obvious to most of us.

I also REALLY enjoyed your "I wish" post! The one with the cyclists (in their beloved Spandex) is just a crack up--I actually have that photo saved on my computer from an old e-mail that went around awhile ago! I LOVE it!!!!
Your Crumpet Strumpet is a hoot BUT I have to take issue with that DREADFUL dog toy!!! My kitties said to tell you "DO NOT BUY THAT!!"
Your Mom looks sooooo cute on her "ride"!! How sweet is that!

Yep, Global Warming, huh? Dana

I tried to do something along these lines when I visited the leaning tower of Piza, but I couldn't line it up right.

What cool photos! Really shows some mad creativity!

Life on the Edge said...

Those are amazing! When I was little, I learned how to take a photograph so that it looks like someone is holding another person in their hand. My daughter likes to do the head pinch thing in photos, lol...because she is a dork.

Lynette said...

Nikki - hate to break it to you, but I am not the genius behind the scroll on my sidebar. Kristen (something about nothin) is. We work together and she does all that on hers and then does all the extras on mine. She'll be more than happy to share with you though. I'll ask her Mon to get in touch with you OK?
She did her button and mine, the three column layouts for us, all that "cool" stuff!!

Bo said...

These pictures make me want to throw my camera away until I can get a photographer's eye like this!
Awesome...;-) Bo

Shannon said...

Those are so cool! Where do you find these?? I love the ons with the sun. I think the last one with the two people kind of makes the sun look like a heart. Aawwwwww!
