Mitchy's Visualarium

for everyone

Hello everyone and Happy May Day to you!! It's PICTURE PERFECT time again.

Firstly I have to apologise to my regular contacts, as the photo I am using this week was only posted on my page yesterday!! However, the timing of the subject of this week's theme couldn't have been better had I arranged it myself.

This is a picture of me with the new love of my life, Joanne. We met online some months ago, and recently met each other in person for the first time. We spent a couple of weeks together, which could only be described as: MAGICAL!! Although we are now back on different continents (I'm in the UK, she is in America), we are looking forward to seeing each other again in the not too distant future.

The photo was taken with my trusty Olympus. It's NOT a B&W or sepia shot. The only light source was my computer monitor, with the flash turned off on the camera. Due to the very low light level, I had to adjust the contrast/tone in the camera software. The end result was this grainy 'nightvision' effect.

Prev: So, Where HAS Mitch Been Lately?
Next: Spring: The Elusive Season

The magic of that moment was getting me to sit still!! The true magic was in the time we spent together, the feelings that were, are and will be real for a very long time. Distance can't diminish that magic in any way. Love you, sweetheart.
