Origin

The mono Monday challenge this week (thanks to jensphotos) is Origin.  Chose to blip this for two reasons.  One being that the origin of this image is a slide from some boxes of slides that I decided to have a go scanning.  The results were pretty variable in quality to say the least.  The photo is from around 1987-88 and is of my mother to whom, of course, I owe my origin.  I was visiting her and my dad in Australia, they lived in Darwin at the time.  And, I was also sporting a dodgy perm, but then it was the 80s.

Looking through the slides it was interesting how even back then I favoured a similar type of photography: cats, dogs, shapes, and the quirky stuff of life.

As many of the slides were sporting dust, hairs and goodness what I also decides to play with the scanner settings - so have included an extra.

Just twigged we were encouraged to say how we started with Blip - someone showed me Treshnish's wonderful photos so thought I'd give it a go.  And PictureMull is the name for my website and sort of says it all as many of my photographs are taken in and of the place.
