Please, Have a Seat

Please, Have a Seat

I am going through some older photos, looking at color and deciding if they might be good in black and white. This one caught my eye because it has some obvious contrast in color, but also a variety of textures. Contrast and texture are some of the things which, so I read, help make a black and white image worthwhile. I am trying to train my eyes to see this – for me, this is especially hard as color is always my first observation. Oh, what a beautiful red! Texture and tones are not something I find easy to discern, either because of my magpie mind, or maybe because my eye is untrained this way. Since I am using some black and white film in an old camera, I want to see if I can do it without taking a lot of sludgy pictures.

Janome Coverpro 1000 CPX

Do I really need another new toy?  I guess so, cuz I bought it.  And I got a good deal on it from my favorite sewing machine store, too.  It really pays off to support your local businesses, and it feels good, too.

Anyhow, the video . . . it shows the model prior to the CPX, the CP.  I am not quite sure why the CP was discontinued – I think I read it had some feed issues.  The reason the video is posted here is to show some of the attachments and how to use them.  I like information like that.  I am watching the video before I play with the machine, and probably others, too, to learn what it can do.  Then, sit down and read the manual, and get around to playing.
