about the cover

I love how the cello is very sensual in shape and size. The beautiful tone is similar to the human voice. I can always recognize the long slow sigh of the cello when I listen to a song. The cello is considered to be one of the most beautiful sounding instruments.
In my editing process I twisted the image and added the words “music pulls at my heart strings”.
Although I hear the music I also feel the music, when it is deep and emotional it can fill my heart with joy and sometimes sadness.
Sincerely,
Debbie Walke Macdonald Cover Design
I bought my first Nikon camera in 2017 with the encouragement of my High school friend who I met in the 1970’s. He came back into my life, opened my eyes and encouraged me to tap into my creative side. I will be so ever grateful for his kindness and patience through teaching me this beautiful art called photography. It is wonderful to see the world thorough a lens. I love composing the picture in my mind which is always teeming with ideas. I will sometimes choose unusual viewpoints and I wait awhile for the right light or dramatic clouds to appear at the perfect moment to enrich the scene. I like how I can influence mood through contrast and colour during my editing process on the computer.
I truly enjoy photography so much! I find it to be exciting and rewarding, and I am always learning something new. My friend and mentor died of cancer in 2021.
Treat your friends as you treat your pictures, and place them in their best light.
Hilton Falls (Milton Ontario) is a beautiful 10-metre waterfall that cascades over the rocks of the Niagara Escarpment.
Falling water freezes to create textured ice sculptures.
