I’m going to be working on another project with my friend Alena Shminke but we’re having trouble figuring it out. This morning she suggested that we make it out of the boredom and sadness of being, which to me sounded perfect.
This is my first take on the theme, only today I had a fantastic day and wasn’t bored for a second. Fortunately I’m Bipolar so my mood changes as fast as a Cheetah on meth.
Scratched film texture added in ON1 Effects.

You know if we keep up this happy-happy-joy-joy stuff we will have to change the theme.

I like that scratch effect. It gives it a painting type quality.
I vote for keeping the happy-happy-joy-joy stuff. But then we might disrupt the balance of the internet. So carry on. Keep us grounded.

Thanks Sandy, I think we’ll go towards an artistic/philosophical portrait of pleasure and pain. Or its equivalents-think clouds. 😕

It’s hard for me to be bored when I have a camera and a nice subject. Yet, I see your reasoning. Nice work, Mike.

Thanks Ken, everything is open to interpretation. The flower is almost dead so while it had a good life I guess that’s the sadness of being.

Thanks Tiffany. It seems when I try to do boredom and sadness I make something beautiful. Alan Watts called it the Backward Law.

Gorgeous photo! Just goes to show, beauty is 90% perception and 10% doughnuts.
