Doin' Laundry

This is a photo of the laundromat where my husband and I spent a few hours one rainy evening in Dublin, Ireland.  I remember him asking me why in the world I was taking a picture of the washers.  I really liked the repetition, the numbers, the post-it hanging from one, and the lone backpack - not to mention all of the reflections.

I was playing around with the photo yesterday and came up with this one, below.

It's a cropped version and enhanced using the "fresco" application in photobucket.  I love it!  I love it so much, that I may just have to print it, frame it, hang it.

I've been wrestling with the idea of getting photoshop.  I don't want to get it in a lot of ways, but when I start seeing how these photos that I take can be changed just a little and become something kind of cool - well, then I want it.

I'm really happy with the way some of photos come out SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera) and I wonder sometimes if it's wrong to tweak them.  I also know that some of my shots can be fantastic with just a bit of tweaking but right now they are duds.

I think I'm talking myself into photoshop...again.

Starting next week, I'm going to start posting a photo a day (without this much chatter!) and also a separate post on what I would usually chat about...which is who knows what!  Two posts a day! Can she do it??  LOL

Have a lovely day doing laundry!
