207/365: Perfect match
17.6.09
Not that I believe there's any such thing. And anyway, I can't decide between number 5 and number 9.
So, as June gales rage outside, the washing machine heaves a huge sigh of relief, spits out the washing, and returns to its familiar place in front of the paparazzo's lens.
Also for MSH's a little OCD. Not that I'm obsessive and compulsive about negative space. Oh no. But because today saw me lining matches up with a ruler. And then wiggling them away from it. Artistic licence, innit.
*...counts to nine, washes her hands four times, and leaves the house, returning twice to check the door is locked....*
This is a fly-by (again). Back to catch up with you all later tonight.

I love negative space too! Sometimes it doesn't work, but mostly it does :p (at least in my eyes!!) Love this one!!

you are so clever :-)

Nice negative space. LOoks like maybe a police lineup of matches? ;) Well done :>

Love the simplicity of this!
OMG I have to go back to check the door is locked, but I like to think it's the sign of an intelligent mind!!! ;-)

Nice bit of OCDness. I really must work on my MSHs. Not sure about perfect match - as you say, no such thing - but very pretty ones, certainly.

#5 is just entirely too short. #9 would be a lot of fun, being a twin with #8 and all. Personally, though, I'd totally go for #12. I'm a sucker for the big, strong types......

wow, this is so great. love the simplicity and love that negative space!

I love this shot, even if you are a little crazy ;-)

The thumbnail looked like an opened book of matches, so it's a surprise to see a row of wooden ones. Nice.

So much for my good intentions. Early evening and conscientious flickring derailed by naughty people with dry white wine on their side. I shall catch up with y'all tomorrow.
Darnit, you're right about the light switch.
I'm remedying it now. ... Ooops. Fused the
place. Again. ;D
Ooh, yeah, six is cute too... imperfections
rule. :)
We can try and cling onto it being a sign of
intelligence. but we know the truth... ;)
I know what you mean about the twins. ;)
And 12, 12 definitely has something.
Maybe I will light them. Though not right
now. I shouldn't be allowed near a nekkid
flame... ;)

just plain LOVE it.
Kaboomish Gem (36 months ago | reply)
Is it bad that I actually counted to number 5 and number 9 so I could compare. I was very intrigued as to what I would see when I clicked 'door' but this does look much better on black where you can fully appreciate all that yummy negative space. This is like a sparky line-up ... 5 did it.

matchless ... well someone had to say it! No, seriously, an inspired shot ..

Awesome OCD which I think is pure character. Now I want to start my 1000 piece puzzle which Mike seems to think I get OCD over ;)
I think all of us have it just a matter of where it shows up in each person!

I love negative space too. The square crop for the thumbnail of this looks particularly bizarre.
