Week 3 Of Photography And Self


Today I am attending the 3rd session of Photography and Self, a class sponsored by the Denver Public Library and the University of Denver. It is an intergenerational group, half DU photography students and half senior citizens, and focuses on taking self-portraits (selfies) with your smart phone. Last week Roddy, the DU photography professor, introduced the class to various photo apps that can be used to enhance your selfies, one of which - Grunge Photo Editor - I used to modify the above self-portrait. Of course, I have no idea what "grunge" is - a style of music from Seattle, perhaps? And just what makes the above photograph grunge?  Definitely a question to ask the class. And as for smartphones and photography, I have to admit that I still miss those old rotary dial phones. Does that make me an old fogey? Don't answer that.
