Thing 4

So I got to try a new app today called Quik, it was pretty straightforward (though I should have spent more time playing with the effects I think), and I am going to have some fun with it in future I hope. https://t.co/3VOPwb2TIa  I just took a few shots of an exhibition that is in the foyer of the art college where I work. The cut out dolls image (the white dashlines on the black backround) are actually part of my other life as a 'cut out doll' performer. We are a troupe of five, and we make cardboard dresses and perform at festivals and events.
