There was a time – These bathrooms need updating. Warning bring your own toilet paper.

Mad Meandering Me – Two great photos that will bring you back in time.

Insight From a Woman’s Heart – Bright shiny and new bathroom. The little two year old had some fun posing too. I really like the photos with him in them, especially the photo of him inspecting the toilet.

My entry this week

The first three photos I edited in Nik Software FX Silver FXPro2. I’m trying out the Nik Software for a couple of weeks. So far I’m very happy with the results. I’ve tried learning Photoshop on my own, but I have been unsuccessful. So maybe this will give me an easier way to play around when I want to.

This photo is of Chris’s iPhone 5. Yesterday, she bought the camera lenses and tripod so she can play around a little more with the photography from her phone. I just had to take a photo of it for this challenge and use the vintage look.
