Yes me too! We went to a Julia Cameron exhibition last year, the photographic technique they used then was similar to the effect you have got today, how did you do this?
Hi Julie! I´m also very fond of the pictures by Julia Cameron 🙂 Did you know that the other photographers of that time dispised her for her technique? They couldn´t understand how she willingly let her pictures be out of focus!
I´d guess, Su simply overexposed the picture here, but of course, I´m not sure:) Have a lovely day! Sarah
Hi Sarah, are you in the UK, we went to the exhibition at the V and A. Yes, I read that – and she was a woman with great connections and some famous friends to photograph, maybe in that mans world, there was some jealousy too. You cant help but admire her drive.
Hi Julie! I studied art history and concentrated on early photography that´s why I know a little about her. And you´re right, she really had some very famous friends, I love her portraits of Herschel, Tennyson and Darwin. Jealousy surely was the main part of the maliciousness. But I think it´s awesome that her work is now fully appreciated! She really was exceptionel!
Julie and Sarah: I’m going to sound like such a cheat, especially in light of the discussion about Julia Cameron. I used Snapseed and Pixlr to “age” the shot. I’m so envious that you’ve both seen the V&A exhibition. It visited Sydney last year, and I missed it by a day 😦
You’re right Su, but I always check to make sure they do have a nice scent before I buy a rose bush. Sadly, the bouquet of roses no longer have that wonderful scent.

Absolutely lovely, Su! And I agree with Julie here – totally like Julia Margaret Cameron (whom I adore tremendously!), only in colour;)

I have a rose bush that is the exact same colour and the scent is heavenly. (Mother’s Day present from our younger daughter.)

🙂 Scented roses don’t seem as common now as when I was a child. And of course, they are such a joy when one does find them!

Wonderful photo, Su. If I had the money (or the garden), I’d have fresh flowers every day. Thanks for letting me share yours.

Thanks Janet. I’d like to say it was my garden, but actually I took this in the Parnell Rose Gardens, which is one of my favourite places.
