TEXTURES worldwide
Textures are everything, without a texture be it smooth, rough, velvet,silky, hard, ripping, fragile, the world would be nothing. Photography could barely exist as texture is to everything what skin and clothes are to us humans. I love what lets call it "casual macro photography" shows me after I have taken texture pictures in moments when I did not have time to stay and admire. Yes casual as I since have seen photos of professional macros that put mine to possible shame, but then mine are taken on the moment with a second without settings as they are offered to me by the world itself under all sort of circumstances far from near laboratory set ups. Although these masters of photographing one drop of water falling arising and being hit by the second one making the first one explode into an umbrella shape with pearled fringes is mind boggling and make me want to have that kind of equimpment as my imagination is not short of anything. I am eager to start applying my own textures in 3D software work.

The rip on other pictures show that actually the wood underneath is only waiting for the rains to re spruce and go and get green in no time once the summer rains will drench it daily.
