First Ever Pictolens

Whenever I plan a lens or start building the modules I always go to my camera or my own photos first. If I am planning a subject the first thing I do is take pictures to illustrate it. Then I round out the lens with Google images and related graphs from the web if necessary.

Two lenses of mine have no photos of my own. The John Adams and the Joan Armatrading. It is just not possible for me to get up close to those two people. As my lens list grows I imagine there will be more.

The James Cain has pictures of my book collection.

So the method in this corner is (1) subject, and (2) my pictures. Without the two I would have a slow start on a lens. If maps were something I could make I would put a map in every lens too.

I do not call myself a photographer. I just take pictures with my cheap camera and digital is supreme. My son tells me sarcastically, "Thanks for the memories." I always was loathe to snap with abandon because of the cost at the developer. Now I can crop, fade, and change so the photo is half decent and everyone looks good. I can even toss some away. Who cares picture taking is almost free.

I have to admit there is narcissistic overtones to this lens. No one at home wants to look at my pics and you might not either, but I am having fun with this anyway. I think many of us on Squidoo have our own rivalries that only other Squidoo people can appreciate.

Thanks for looking.

If a photo above interests you click the corresponding number here in blue and see what the lens is about. Almost like magic.

Do you do things by stare and compare? Maybe you are the type that likes to fix or start over or get whatever done by experimenting. I know, you can tweak stuff till it is just right. Then Squidoo may be something you would like to do.
