Friday My Town Shoot-Out: Framed

The idea of the My Town Shoot Out is to post photos of your community every Friday, and hopefully improve your photography skills. If you would like to see examples of this week's theme from other parts of the world, go here.

(Most) photos taken in Corvallis, Oregon

OK. It is definitely not my town. This is the Parthenon in Rome, with its open-to-the-air dome. I had a mind-boggling trip to Italy last summer, which is very fun to think about in the dead of winter here in Oregon.  The following three pictures are actually from Corvallis.



Because of a classic, stupid, verrrrrry stupid, computer mistake, I have almost no archives from which to snatch pictures for you. But happily, here is a surviving photo from the summer farmer's market. This little guy, unaware that we might think of him as a "princess" is having his face painted by the balloon-seller.

    Love the first shot of the blue sky. I think the little guy's balloon should read, Priceless! Too cute.

    Love the door handle! And of course the pic from the floor of the Parthenon, always, always.

    Poor little princess looks so unhappy!

    A terrific, varied collection. I love the first and the last. I think perhaps that little boy did know what the sign said!

    loved the last shot. and yes what a shot of the bird through the opening in the Parthenon - that is what framing is about isn't - an element of perspective and depth not ordinarily shown.
