Two-Edged Sword

Manipulation:

1: to treat or operate with or as if with the hands or by mechanical means especially in a skillful manner
2 a : to manage or utilize skillfully
b: to control or play upon by artful, unfair, or insidious means especially to one's own advantage
3: to change by artful or unfair means so as to serve one's purpose

Sticky wicket, eh? Well, my kind of manipulation is simply for fun. I have manipulated some phone pics and thought I would share. All are very basic, but I still like the way they look and I think I might print out some smallish and use them in a little coaster project I have going. Hope you like them!






Not really sure about this one, it is a little too busy for my taste.








I hang out with these chicks Mon-Fri. Elder tiny terrorist brings them to play with before and after school. We sit them by the computer to keep younger tiny from mayhem and destruction. My little coffee companions are a rockin' bunch of babes, aren't they?






My purple fairy yard. The side of the house is shaded, and this is truly a sight to behold in the spring when the violets and ground ivy bloom.

Your pics make me yearn for those days when photography was genuinely a hobby of mine. Makes me want to get back in; but I have to be strong: This is one hobby that can drive me to the poorhouse!

Love your manipulations.

Most of these photos I took with my cell phone lol. I have my good camera, which needs to go see the doctor cause I have worked it to death these last 3 years. But since the site claims all uploaded photos to this site can be utilized by them without my permission and without giving me due credit, I am pretty choosy about what I share here.

Only in the kinder sense of the world. Never thought it was worth the effort to manipulate people. Either they see shit the way I see it or they don't, no need to try to coerce anyone into anything they don't truly want to do.

if your phone shots are so groovy, your "real camera" shots must be totally excellent.

i haven't picked up the camera in awhile except to snap Frank-O trying to push the couch and ottoman with his tail and feet. freekin' hoot...for real...!!

Alas, my real camera is dead. But I have my eye on a couple, when the price is right I will snag another one. I would love to see Frank doing his 'workout routine'!

when my teengirl was young she had some Bratz dolls (dollz?) that looked like that.... I'd find them "watching" me from time to time lol! Thanks for sharing your pics, I'm a fan of the first one the most!


wildnwanton replies on 4/26/2014 12:50 pm:
These are Monster High Dolls, and apparently it is all about the color of her hair and what shoes she is wearing that matter the most. The lass sitting at the far left is Clawdeen Wolf and she is the favorite because she has at least three of those dolls that I know of. (This is just the favorites of her collection, she would need a small truck to move them all lol.)
