Laura



Laura works at Three Ladies Antiques on Park Road in West Hartford.  They sell a variety of antiques like paintings, books, furniture, jewelry and rugs.

When I wear my glasses up there like Laura, things look blurry.  Kind of like the background.  Which I intended to be blurred.  Really.

    Great name for an antique shop and you did an excellent job of 'accidentally on purpose' blurring the background Jack..there's a name for it, just cant remember what it is..

    Another great post about an interesting person--what a fine photo, Jack! The blurring background is called bokeh.

    I'd be tempted to go into san antique store named three ladies.

    Yes, you did a good job with the depth-of-field in this shot and got a fine portrait. Try putting your glasses on the back of your head and see how that works. As I recall your kids used to say you had eyes in the back of your head.

    Very nice portrait. When I wear my glasses like that, I forget where they are.

    I think your shot is great! Why shouldn't the background be blurred? All we care about is Laura's beautiful smile. :)

    I'm sure the HDP management would be concerned if you were trying to blur Laura's face. She looks like she was having quite a chuckle watching you.

    Regarding acupuncture, I think most folks use it as treatment for a particular ailment such as back problems, digestive issues, chronic pain etc. After acupuncture, I feel even better than having a massage.

    Looking forward to seeing your submission for theme day!

    So what do you look for when you're in an antique store, Jack?
