Red

 


One of the local art galleries in one of the main streets in town - they sell artwork, portrait photography etc. After checking out their photos I think they could be similar to the subjects I take photos of but theirs are on a professional scale.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Photography exhibitions are - nearly always - nice experiences.

They take nice pictures, I am sure. But don't let that knock yours, yours are always nice too, especially for blogging.

I'd like to look around inside.
I have a couple of Nimmo's prints. Lovely pics but I can't complain about yours, they're also lovely.

I really enjoy all of your photos.

I guess turning a hobby into a profession you can live on is as much about hard work as about artistic talent...

I wish them luck. Our art gallery is still there, but most people buy online...

My brother is a photographer and he spends hours and hours waiting for the right light etc to get the photo he wants. I snap away quite happy if it isn't blurred.
I think you do really well with your photos. I have a relation who is a professional photographer and a lot of the pictures get photoshopped before they are released. Think I will stick to being an amateur LOL.
You photos are always good also Amy. Have a great week ahead

I like the bright red car against a dull background, beautifully composed and shot!

Hah, you may be kind of like me. I am not going to buy other people's photos when I have so many of my own. True that they are generally a lot better quality than mine, but still.

LOL, "On the professional scale" can be so different in meaning.

LOL, "on a professional scale" can have so many different meanings. But I do learn something from some galleries, and I find they improve my images.

Grace Brothers

  We have 2 new chickens, both black ladies. If any of you are familiar with British comedy tv shows you will recognize the names we have given them. This one is named Miss Brahms. And this one is named Mrs Slocombe.

These ones give us a white coloured egg whereas the brown shavers give us brown coloured eggs. Linking up with  Tuesday Treasures ,  Happy Tuesdays  and   Wordless Wednesday .

Auckland Metropolis Museum

In amongt the modern new highrise buildings in Auckland City is this smaller vintage building that is currently for sale (I'd buy it if I had the money).   My research found that:  "It was designed by English-born architect Charles Towle and erected in the early 1930s as the Church of Christ, Scientist, the building's Graeco-Roman facade has towering columns that frame its impressive entranceway, with three ornate timber doors decorated with leadlight inserts providing access to the expansive foyer. Arched ceilings dominate the former congregational high stud space beyond the foyer and numerous picturesque windows provide a light, airy feel and an ambience many office buildings lack. The building housed congregational and Sunday school services for 70 years until it was sold and converted into office space in 2003. A significant refurbishment was also carried out with care taken to ensure that the building's distinctive character remained intact. Special architectural ...
