On Thursday at 2, Liz comes over and we play around with Photoshop. We met at a Community Evening College last year where a very officious young lady attempted to teach Photoshop in eight easy lessons with a test at the end. Liz and I didn't get it - loved what PS could do but just didn't get it - which is not surprising since it is a very sophisticated program. We felt like the naughty girls in the class just as if we were right back there with all you babyboomers. We now explore Picassa, with issues like - how do you store photos, when do you use Picassa rather than Photoshop etc.
So now when we meet, we attempt to find our way through the wilderness, usually spending much of the time laughing belly laughs at what we create. The blind leading the blind but we have fun and we are moving forward!!?? Today's effort below.
Another retirement wisdom coming up for the blueprint - we can continue to make vibrant connections with others when we engage in similar interests.
So your cat now sits with mine both adorned with your beautiful neckpieces.
Cheers Clara
ps I have to name my cat now that she is a celebrity.
Brown Cat meets White Cat (He He!)
"I have a neckpiece too."
Welcome to my journey as I photograph something I create everyday for a year... RRT

Playing around with what will work - seems to be a limit - all trial and error since there is no clear blueprint here either. Also working on the Music aspect - I know where to go - when I decide to take the time- at present we have abrupt cutoffs.
Video - Just a quick one to show your fabulous work. Obviously it would need to be in order, with captions - but it would be good to go on U tube etc. with the appropriate music and challenge. Let's do it - Let's twist again like........ Let's do some marketing together.
Love Clara
Dear C,
ReplyDeleteI envy you your Thursdays with Liz (TWL). What a wonderful combination, a good friend, laughter and photoshop. I have been exploring photoshop elements for years now, most of the time by myself and crying more than laughing. But isn't it great? Our cats look wonderful on my patio, very compatible and happy. Remember what John Travolta said in the movie Michael, laughter is the way to true love. Three more important keys to successful retirement...laughter, love and good movies.
Speaking of which, I love your muvee! What a delightful suprise. I was out for a walk yesterday and photographed a bubbling spring on our hillside. When I got back to look at the photo, it just wasn't the same without the wonderful sound and movement. So that does it, I'm on my way to Walmart, another key to SR (successful retirement). Not shopping at Walmart, but continuing to pursue new interests, challenging oneself to go to the next level. HMM..U Tube, We Tube. I'm up for some creative marketing of our combined products and talents. And there it is again, the key to SR, don't retire. Start up something new...let's twist again.
Love
R
