Pics Art

I've been playing around on an App called PicsArt for quite a while. I think I first started playing on it on my Sony Galaxy S in 2012 or 2013 when it was an Editor's Choice pick for Android platform.

I just got a new Apple iPhone 6 last month as a gift, and it's even better than the version on my old 2011 Galaxy S model phone. 

People are even more social than ever on there, and I quite like it. I often find it to be better than Instagram, other than not having video which my iPhone now does that my Galaxy did not. 

Here's my PicsArt Gallery. 

I quite enjoy bohemian, gypset, rave, psychedelic, dreamy, exotic, ethereal, and fantasy themes, but i like strait of photography of landscapes, and macro plant/flower studies, and wildlife.

North Weymouth Webb Park June 2015

I just went to North Weymouth on Saturday, and I got very sunburned on my arm. Check my Instagram.

The water was gorgeous! It was the cleanest I have ever seen it, with a very blue color and a slightly milky translucent glow to the water.

My daughter will be turning 12 years old by the end of this month.

Here we are at the cliffs overlooking the bay shoreline and the skyline of Boston's Cityscape & Sky Scrapers. You can also see Quincy, Hingham, and Hull.







Here is the view from the summit of the cliffs:

 

At this point my daughter was hot and was impatient to get in the water...

After we spent a long time wandering arund Webb Park we drove down to the Wessagussett Beach Yacht Club which I guess is at the Great Hill Park, which I can;t exactly figure out yet... still...

North Weymouth Wessagusset and Web Park (Mass)

I personally don't find these particular photos as flattering at all, and I think my spouse has terrible taste in photography composition...  (he shot the one above) he however, thinks it's marvelous, and the weird thing is relatives that were usually snippy with me would tell me I looked good in these.

I think this is from 2009-2011... 

Whatever...

My daughter shot the following 2 photos. Which I also don't like, and find them unflattering, and yet all my relatives, including the snippy ones loved them a lot.
You people, I will never understand... 

More by my spouse, on a terribly bloated hormonal day... and salt in the air makes it worse...
My weight goes up n down..  and I'm not thrilled about that...

Sakura No Makeup Mori Girl 2012

These, IMHO, really aren't the greatest photos of me ever, but a number of folks think that are good, and tell me so. "Good" is not the word I would ever use.

For several years since my late 20s I would get seveer sinus, lungs, bronchial, inner ears, and lung infections in winter due to small tonsils, and deviated septum in my sinuses, (I also have asthma) and by the time I was in my 30s I just couldn't heal very well, plus add on poverty and poor nutrition with stress and pressure, plus depression or anxiety.


I was sick when I shot these. It was sometime around the time just before the year I had major surgery... I already forget most of that time.. its a jumble in my head/memory...

It was strapped for time when I shot these. As per typical New England weather i.e. erratic it was supposed to rain this day, and also supposed to be cold, but as I walked to the grocery store ( and probably Starbucks too) carrying my umbrella, I started to sweat. I thought: That's strange... By the time I was walking back home, which wasn't very long, the clouds began breaking up, and the sun came out.

So, I rushed home quickly to get my camera.

I shot all sorts of photos of the sakura/cherry blossoms which were next door to my neighborhood, back when the fence desintagrated and neighbors could freely visit each others' neighborhood happily n unrestricted...

the sky still looked terrible, and I thought at any moment I'd miss my shots, like always... But, the sun pretty much stayed on me the entire time, for the most part... so, I started shooting myself, wishing I'd put my makeup on, and regretting NOT doing it... But, then I had to go because I had some conferences to sit in on, and a number of phone interviews...
