Seeing YOUR Image(s) First!

Yes! These are what I saw, you know, "in my head" before I even brought the camera up to my eye, while walking past this school (I believe), you know, just down the street from my hotel, while visiting some city in Morocco (Casablanca?), while on tour back in the day, but yeah, not THAT long ago! Yeah, like just a couple of years ago it turns out.

I doubled checked ... See, I had been to Morocco once before, like, years earlier, and yeah, I had to think which trip I was actually on when I "found" this one!

Crazy!

Trust me, I know!

Oh brother! Are you kidding me? Oh yeah, I found out alright, and even I can't believe it!

Like only TWO years ago!

Yeah, while on my LAST overseas trip! Duh?

Like I said, CRAZY!

Welcome to MY WORLD!

But there you go!

First, what I "saw in my head", yeah, BOTH of them! That's another thing I learned while out shooting, like ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, for newspapers, and magazines back when i was starting out as a photographer!

Shoot it "BOTH WAYS", like right then and there!

You know, while still in "THE MOMENT"!

And then ... Whenever, yeah, you, or your editor, then have a choice where, and how, you actually place them on the page, or on your website, or wherever you end up "using them"!

Now true, I don't manage to do that EVERY TIME, but yeah, I try to!

And yeah, I'm happy with that!

And all these years later, yeah! I am the "editor" for my own website! FINALLY!

Good luck with that!

You never know!

In fact, yeah, like I said, I shot these a few years ago, and don't remember seeing, you know, those "extra art designs" that were added to the ART, you know, later!

I guess I was right! School kids are "school kids" no matter where they come from!

And yes! By the looks of it, it just had to be a "MIDDLE SCHOOL", no doubt! Ha!

You noticed it, right?

If not, yeah, go back and check it out!

In fact, I'll help you! Remember, I was a middle school Special Ed. teacher ... That's what I do.

LOOK FOR WHAT DOESN'T "BELONG"!

And yes! As a retired college photography (ART!) instructor, I can't help myself!

Old habits die hard!

And yes! Good luck with that one too!

Oh! And yeah, did you notice that I didn't "fix everything" on each image? Yeah, like, that "part of that shadow thing", down there on the lower left corner, yeah, and that "STAR" ...

Hey! It's all ART to me! Or whoever drew them!

Their art, so yeah, the "teacher" in me, finally, you know, since I am retired, and everything, yeah, so I finally, you know, just have to "let it go"!

That's my job now!

Finally.

Hope you enjoy your retirement as much as I do.

You never know.

Until you do.

But yeah, I'll leave that up to you.

Enjoy.
