Hmm, I must be getting too predictable then. I knew I should've nicked the corset, but I'm still working on Eve's sexy AV

I thought the one you picked was the most interesting photo for a poem. So it was a compliment. So there.

i could read it, but it was rather difficult to see. can you make it brighter? bold it maybe?

it's great btw. good poem and well fitted into the column of smoke.

fortunately, summer is coming--i'll work on the tan lol.

I see 'ever' and 'whisp'. Other than that, smoke gets in my eyes.

sorry bad pun... blame it on my cold medicine.

Hey you! You did an illustrated poem--good man, you are!

now i can bug you to do them, too

 

[My Erotic Tale]

wow I really enjoyed alot of these illustrated replies,
I probably as most, don't understand the original art work clause
then how can you use others pictures question. So I draw my own to ensure infringment rights. I for one would love to know the do's and don'ts of illustrated literary art!

great poems sprout, angeline

Thanks for your kind words, Art. The site where I get the photos is stock.xchange, which has work by amateur photographers, most of whom sign a release form saying there are no usage restrictions on them. People who go to the site then use them for websites, illustrated poems, whatever. If you go there, just make sure the photos you choose are categorized as having "no usage restrictions."

A small portion of the photos there can't be used for commercial purposes or first require the photographer's written permission before they can be used by anyone else, but I don't use those--just the ones that have no restrictions on them.

Yes you can create your own artwork. I've done that, too, but being a lazy grasshopper, I generally go for the copyright-free stuff.

I like that one, too, Ange, but I don't have the capability to add the words I have. Dang!!!

 

[minsue]

For Boo

Am I close?

Thats perfect, SweetGoose!! Thank you, so much! I think there's one more I'd like to try. If I don't make it work I'll send it to you, ok?

No problem

So, like, what's the best and/or easiest way to put words into/onto these pictures? I might like to dabble a bit myself if it's something I can manage without too much trouble. <g>

I'll answer this in a bit Remec. There's lots of stuff you can try. Do you have photo shop or another photoediting program that allows text and other effects on photos?

Be back soon--birdeyez and I are off to the gym.

ArcSoft's PhotoStudio (2000v) is probably the best software I've used for lettering on illustrated poems. A lot of hard drives came pre-loaded with it few years ago so you may find free shareware of out there.

I guess it's time to break down and buy that new digital camera since the other one died....
