Photo Art Friday

  I live near Chicago and have seen a ton of Graffiti over the years. However, I am always driving when I see them and, as you know, it isn't a good idea to try to pull over in city traffic.  I did have a few pictures of graffiti on train cars ... I try passing my time, as I wait and wait for the train to pass, by snapping some shots of the cars that have graffiti on them.  This was the best of the bunch ...

 

  As my choices were limited I decided to try to create some of my own.  Turns out it is not that easy and I struggled with it the same way I do with creating abstracts.  This is not my best post, but it will have to do as the time has come for PAF :)  

I found a program on the net called "Graffiti Creator" so I plugged in my "From The Sol " and created.  The problem is once it is done, I was unable to save it to my computer so I took a picture of it and then used the magic extractor to pull it out.  The rest is just dabbling again.   

After I read Bonnie's remarks about using this as an opportunity to make a statement, I gave some thought to what I might want to address.  As I am blessed (as are most of my friends) to have a comfortable retirement, I often think of those who have suffered the loss of their retirement funds or maybe never had the opportunity to put money away for "The Golden Years".  This is a sad reality that many are facing in our country of wealth and I often ask myself why ... is there an answer to the question?  Is there a solution to the problem?   I think there are solutions, we just have to be willing to do the right things ...
