There is so much to learn, to try, to experiment with in photography – making the initial image, analyzing it, and then doing post processing either in a minor way or in a major way with all the creativity tools. Yes, photography enhances life.
The first three images were made from a photo I made of a mask

I made this photo in Oaxaca Mexico. A street vendor makes these name bracelets and is willing to make one on the spot using any name and any chosen colored thread.
