My plan for 2013 is to focus in and pause and 'notice' and then capture the details of the things and the moments around me.a plan to notice the fotoART in my life.

While cleaning and decluttering and thinking about the direction of my POTD/52 project, I 'noticed' these fun pencils I have. I 'noticed' their amazing individual colors and then I 'noticed their collectively cool design..........FotoART, right there waiting for me to 'notice'...............click.

Im a wannabe photographer and these words spoke to me-
-photography: The art/talent to capture the beauty in things that go unnoticed

all the technique in the world does not compensate for the inability to notice

FYI- a blur photo filter was added to the bottom photo and the that cool canvas transfer from the AP Mint Blizzard was then clipped to the photo and the 'vivid light' blending mode was applied.
