the not yet meets the already gone...

Was walking around in Deep Ellum on Saturday looking for murals and such to photograph.  Came upon this and couldn't resist taking a picture of it.  Up close, it is hard to make out the pictures.  When you step back and look, everything comes more into focus.  Got to thinking about this (because I was just walking around) and realized this is something that is required in our everyday life.  We are always at the intersection of where "the not yet" meets "the already gone".  Are we willing to step back from the busyness of life and let the things around us (that mean the most to us) come more into focus?  Or are we going to let life just be one big blur of meaningless activity...

two tylers...

Took this a while ago and wasn't really happy with the results. It was taken with the Olympus EP2 camera using studio lights.  Sometimes you need to let the image set on the computer and it comes back to you.  

The image that Tyler is holding is an Old Gen PX70 Color Shade image from Impossible that I took of him outside a few days prior to this portrait.  Not for sure if it is my best image ever, but after editing it in NIK Color Efex Pro it definitely has a neat look...
