I find the contrast in this picture very striking although it was just “another one of those pictures” I snapped away on impulse. A gorgeous tulip in mid-bloom around the grated fence on the perimeter of one of the monuments around the park. I was walking back to the office after getting some pasta for myself and a sandwich and soup for the boss yesterday. I could’ve just walked past it and I almost did. The only camera I had was my blackberry, and it wasn’t the Bold which took better pictures. I just felt it would be such a waste of visual candy to resist, so I snapped away.
Another one of those moments when I could’ve just hurried on or given in to being dyahe or shy about stopping and taking a handheld to take a picture — these days I feel like a dinosaur taking the blackberry out when everyone else has an iPhone, Android or Galaxy. I’m cheap. The two blackberrys are company issued, and I can’t find a good enough reason to get any of the other phones of choice unless they were given to me for free.
I’m trying to make it home to my boy a little earlier today since the boss is out. Not by much, but I just wanted to have more time to chill. I have my pearl necklace to work on which, I hope I can finally start stringing today.
Stringing beads and more so pearls is not something I can claim to be good at, so I thought I’d defer to one of my sukis or favorite shops here on Sixth Avenue. (AKA Avenue of the Americas). When in doubt, ask someone who knows
I already knew that I had a choice between string or uber thin wire, and while he said stringing would produce a more elegant strand if knotted, when he saw my freshwater pearls (which he immediately commented must be an expensive strand), he suggested I do wire instead given that I meant to produce a multistrand choker. So wire , it is. I’m excited to lay out the strands and maybe start crimping the ends. Maybe.
I like the feeling of knowing I have created something. I’ll get to it soon.
beautiful photo, and seems reasonably good quality to me! it’s amazing the quality of photo that phones can tke these days…
