Description
Honored that "Hard Times" tied for first place in the 6/15/2022 contest "Through The Storms Of Life." Many thanks to contest administrator, The Art Vine, and everyone who voted for my image. Congratulations to the other winners.
Hard times, baby ... and that ain't the Blue Bird of Happiness.
This is my statement about the state of the state ... I'm tired of this stupid economy. I want the Federal Government to enact sensible laws regarding banking ... I want the stupid banks to lend the money that WE BAILED THEM OUT WITH to competent real estate buyers (and automobile buyers and all the rest) and small businesses. NOW. Let's get this show on the road!!!! Enough is enough!!!
A compilation of 5 of my own images (background taken with the Nikon D40x somewhere between Altoona and Bedford Pa; chair taken with the Nikon D40x at Juniata Mercantile west of Breezewood in Pa; house taken with the Nikon D40x in Pavia, Pa, and the vulture taken with the Nikon D300 at Conowingo, Md.), plus textures and moon, all combined in Photoshop CS4. My thanks to Shadowhouse Creations for the textures and to Obsidian Dawn for the moon brush.
