When a picture’s not just a picture.

By Silver Blue

I used to have a Blackberry that I was rarely without — I’ve moved on to Android land because the last 3 Blackberries I had were basically pieces of junk, locking up, etc. One had a camera that would only take blurry pictures. What to do?

Well, one option is the run the phone over with your car, but that can be messy. One day, at lunch, I snapped a shot of the diner counter where I was, and, of course, the focus was way too soft to be of any real use … that is, until I thought about being artistic.

Why not let Photoshop turn it into a sketch? Worst that could happen would be that I had a completely unusable picture.

Instead, I was presented with something that was far better than I could have imagined. I liked it so much in fact, that I had an 8×10 made of it, and it was displayed in my kitchen art gallery for a while (and even was mentioned back in June).

That’s one of the myriad reasons that, regardless of how poorly a photo may turn out, I never discard them. You never know what you may open your eyes and see one day.
