Reminiscence & Wandering

This kind of light (or candle of light, or even light candor) I like very much. For a fraction of a second or so it had me look at another tree, another place, another time, and I naturally raised my arms and added another tree from another place and another time. It also felt being in two places at once. It just felt good. It was taken in France last summer, can't you tell?
Right now I work on forms,lines and volumes (light+shadow). It's "cold" photography, boring sometimes but I need the discipline for another project. As for a glimpse of the disciplinary exercise, I'll post one later,in a week or so.

Major & Minor

I'm struck by the fact that a really good photograph has an essence that will outlive its time of capture and still stir interest even if your photography evolves into something different from the subject recorded at the time.And what's really striking is its apparent simplicity. Some are interesting in that they show a possibility.Sketches.Minors. Pleasure, patience and perseverance and luck put us on a path to major finding.

Virgin Island

Another work, another section done yesterday.Another natural abstract that will complement and compliment the abstract series whose flagship is "3x5 area#1(Monochrome)" , an earlier april post.I am producing more than I can chew and digest. Abstract has no limit.I Gotta set some.For sanity first. Might be the novelty of it and a fast growing harvest. My mind is set on photo mode and the environment is generous.The actual findings are highly satisfying and satisfactory.So why stopping?...It needs to be put together and the works need outlets for them to go live.Need to have a clear look and enjoy what I did.

(basta!)...La Vista!

Being aware of our surrounding.
What a poor sight from where I was standing. Actually a park with no trees, really. And there I was looking at a tree whose branches had been cut down to open a vista...a vista on what?...Umh...a park with no trees?! Exactly.
I've been told that in Montgomery County, MD it is difficult to have a permission to cut down trees. But if you build a house you can chop as many as you need, want or wish. Houses are growing like mushrooms, old trees are going down Kaboom!...basta!

A maze

It was all there and I was and the kids were minding their own business so I could take care of mine before we all regroup and be family again. And it was just nice to have the camera to be in perfect harmony and not fighting against what you see and want to get. And the light is so intense and you don't have shades. That camera comes in handy between light and you. Pop!There it goes.
