The Blog
Continuing on a similar theme, this one turned out a bit too similar to the previous couple, but I made the mistake of updating Adobe Lightroom and it took an age to update, by which time I’d had enough…so this is what you get!
After yesterday’s consideration of the amount of ink it would take to print a dark version of one of these I thought “stuff it, to hell with the ink”! And made the dark background you see here. It reminded Debbie of a Madonna video, I’m not sure if that is
