Hope In The Storm by Arla M. Ruggles
Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul, / And sings the tune without the words, / And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; / And sore must be the storm / That could abash the little bird / That kept so many warm. I’ve heard it in the chillest land, / And on the strangest sea; / Yet, never, in extremity, / It asked a crumb of me. / Emily Dickinson / Schell Creek Mountains – Northern Steptoe Valley / Eastern Nevada / (2009.JUL.04) RedBubble Album: Great Atmosphere Blessing Mother Earth Canon 350D EOS / Canon EF-S 18/55mm

Pa'ako Beach by Sharon Mau
Pa’ako Beach Makena Maui Hawai’i Kai Makani Ho’ohinuhinu Copyright © Sharon Mau 2009 / All Rights Reserved Why is the ocean blue? / There are several theories: Blue wavelengths are absorbed the least by the deep ocean water and are scattered and reflected back to the observer’s eye Particles in the water may help to reflect blue light The ocean reflects the blue sky Most of the time the ocean appears to be blue because this is the colour our eyes see. But the ocean can be many other colours depending upon particles in the water, the depth of the water, and the amount of skylight. The colours we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light to our eyes. Besides being pretty to look at, colours and the light they come from really do have the power to impact people in many ways. Along with the aesthetics of light and colour, there is real science behind each and every sight we see. Each flash or ray of light, each shade of colour that light makes visible, and each time our eyes receive the messages to see them, we are reminded of a special relationship — one that is often overlooked because we simply take seeing for granted. We miraculously experience a bright, vivid world because of the workings of our eyes, the wonders of light, and the brilliance of colour. The Franklin Institute provides a good explanation of how we see colour. Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi

Gift From the Sea by Tibby Steedly
When I visited our friends, Annie and Paul in Everett, Washington, they took me a magical trip to Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. The tide was extremely low so we were able to walk on the beach and find all sorts of treasures. Annie held this rock-rooted plant up to the sky for me to take a photo of it. I added two other photos and blended – one of a sandollar and one of pink clouds to try to create a sea blend! I also used the Orton effect in PhotoShop.

A Rose For Annie by Tibby Steedly
I took this photo at a beautiful place called Flower World in Everett, Washington when I was visiting our best friends, Annie and Paul in June, 2009. There were so many beautiful flowers, but this particular rose caught my eye because of the delicate colors. I added several layers of textures in PhotoShop of other photos and blended. It had rained the night before so all the flowers were painted with water droplets!

About This Group
The premise of this group is to showcase photographers work in the realm of creative interpretation of common items. This can be anything from an ambiguous macro to a conglomeration of lighting and traditional methods of processing making a common item into an uncommon masterpiece.
Remember, traditional processing methods apply…..any excessive digital manipulation will be removed. (if you could do it with film, you can do it here)
The work itself does not necessarily have to be ‘abstract’’; just a very insightful way of looking at something we would see in everyday life. If the work does not fit this criteria, it may be removed with an explanation as to why it was removed.
For the writers – creative works and interpretations are always welcome here as well. Thanks and good luck!!!
