Description

A gallery isn't complete without the infamous behind-the-bench-shot. Well, not really, but .. :) I played and played with this picture; wanting to do SOMETHING with it. I found it best in b/w .. and using several photoshop tools and filters and plug-ins, I came up with this. You like? I think I do ... The title came to me as I was working on the postwork; I thought of all the conversations that took place there --- going years back to present. Gives me a feeling I just cannot describe with words... so I express it with the postwork I did. Thank you all for your comments and help and advice, and and and ... they mean a lot to me. You are wonderful people. (Alright, I'll quit with the violins! LOL) Take care and have fun :) Shari

this is one of the best :nostalgic: photos ive encountered in some time. i do approve of the postwork you did on this one. dreamy and surreal, as if the conversations and people who sat there were illusions or imaginary. quite lovely indeed!

But these benches CAN talk ! Just sit there for a while, be quiet, don't think, and LISTEN :-))
