When Life Gives You Lemons... Use Adobe Photoshop with Karen Schneider

Sometimes all you need is a rainy day and a lot of lemons! Ok, so what does one have to do with the other? I'm not sure about you, but rainy days always make me hunker down (especially if you live in Southern California and you never get rain) and look at things around you. Those everyday objects you tend to ignore.

For me it was the happy Meyer Lemons, which I had recently picked, whose yellow color gave me a bright spot in an otherwise gray day. For my unlucky lemons this meant becoming the subject of my "Life in Motion" series. My intention is to record the motions that we do almost every day but that we wouldn't necessarily see or capture in one frame. Different frames are layered over each other, sharing different angles and moments of contact.

Oh thank goodness for rainy days….
