no photo-shop, thought it might make a nice texture & background resource
I thought this might be a cool background or texture for another project.
This is kinda disgusting—it looks like one of those scrubby sponges after cleaning a burnt-on pan, doesn't it? It's the remnants of vines that covered a surface (as it happens, on an abandoned building in Oakland, CA) but are now dead. At any rate, it could give some texture to something, right?
Shot from across the street with a zoom lens. I suppose I could've just photographed the scrubby side of my kitchen sponge!

There are some interesting textures here that could be useful.
(with a bit of flash...oops)
..One of a few shots from this neat courtyard I discovered recently.
Yeah, I know...there's shadows on it. This was in Rye bar in San Francisco. If you're in San Francisco, you should check it out. Most of it is much cooler than this brick wall.
For my "misc surfaces" folder in the textures/backgrounds collab.

While walking home from the park, I noticed this flower petal covered sidewalk and just had to shoot it. I wish I had gotten a little bit lower and a tad to the right
and if our hearts were as cristaline as water, the world would be much better...

Lace, coffee paper and Paperchase patterned paper photographed and layered together. Also viewable on my deviant art :)
After spending all that time drawing cornelli lace on this piece of paper, it was nothing to crinkle it up and photograph it throughout its mutilation.
This is the jacket that goes with the dress. I made this using my machine because the lace fabric was so heavy hand sewing wouldn't have held it together! I think it turned out wonderfully!
In case you need a fur texture. This is from my cat. She's a longtime donor of fur. She's really generous with the stuff, leaves it lying around on my furniture and clothes.
I love patterns...Giraffe..zebra...elephant..
trick is getting close enough to these beautiful animals.
Is it the RECord button or a stop sign? Hmmmm...

I found love on the street this morning
Perched at the base, where it connects my soul to the ground. My roots connected to yours. Bring me closer to the earth.

I loved the idea of mixedtapes so I just tried to do something with the idea :D and this is what came out! I'm not 100% satisfied with the result but the resources used might be usefull for remixing!

Another old wallpaper from my grandparents house. A little bit out of focus, but it may still work for some remixes.
