Spot the Pot
Working on a Bowl
Posted by Rabbit (Richmond, United States) on 17 October 2007 in People & Portrait.
This is a continuation of yesterday posting. You can see how the bowl has taken shape. Its actually starting to look like what i said i was working on.
The treatment for this photo... will remain a secret (even to me) i will try to duplicate it again, but i keep having different results. I looked at my photoshop history & that didn't help either. So i'll have to play with this more before i can let you know the process.
I was disturbed last night by a conversation with my mom. She was telling me updates on a little girl we took care of a long time ago. We kept this little girl from about 8months old till she was nearly 2 years old. Her mom lived down the street but times fell hard and she really didn't have enough money to support her family. My mom LOVES children and told her not to worry about it. So she stayed with us nearly every day for the first 2 years of her little life. Well now shes 10 years old.. HOLY cow where does the time go. She told me she has developed really bad asthma, she had a breathing machine (i know what its called but i can't think of it now) that she has to use sometimes. When mom was telling me this, i was thinking awwww. Then she said something else that broke my heart. She said her dad thinks its a joke & he blows cigarette smoke in her face when her moms not around. I nearly broke into tears on the phone. How heartless can you be toward your own child. Thats just terrible :-( why must there be people like this.
Thinking of what i can do to help,
