Another Famous Apple Man

No, not Adam. Cézanne. He liked to work with apples too.

Oh me and my bright ideas...

I decided back in the summer to get ahead with my reading for my OU course, so that I wouldn't get bogged down and would have writing time. So I did. And then I was ahead. So I panicked less about my course. So I stopped working at it. So I spent longer faffing about with my camera and writing stories and... So I'm not ahead anymore.

Today I decided to be really clever and incorporate a season-relevant photo with the sad news about Steve Jobs, and make it look like one of Cézanne's apple paintings. Just a few minutes out of a designated OU study day, yes? Then straight back to work, yes?

3 hours, 85 shots, several light changes, weather changes, background changes later, I then had to sit and go through every single, flipping photo and decide if any of them were worth keeping.
Another hour.
Taking a photo to look like a painting isn't easy. Well not for me it isn't. I've only been taking photos with any interest for 2 months. It's all a bit click and miss or blip and miss, with the odd lucky shot.
The sun suddenly did something helpful and I got one shot that looked a bit like what I was hoping for.
So here it is. My homage to 2 great apple men.

I don't usually join in with public outpourings of grief. In fact, I never do. But Steve Jobs - wow - he was pretty amazing, whether you use Apple products or not.
