My online journal sharing interests in photography, nature, coffee life, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, spirituality and asking deep questions.
I was stuffed to the gills when this image was taken. We had just finished eating far too many baby back ribs at my sisters and were heading back home when we saw this moonrise in the east. I asked dad to stop so I could step out of the car and take a few images. I felt rushed, as well as stuffed, but got the colors I was looking for. Again, the horizon is tilted and I’m gonna leave it that way. 🙂
And, no I’m not talking about corn or wheat. Some times we need to get in close to eliminate distractions. I posted this image previously here and now with a slightly different crop. I found the door hinge to be distracting so I eliminated it. What do you think?
This was taken in the hotel lobby in Dallas. The back of the lobby is a wide open room with a wonderful sky light in the center. As I walked by I noticed the light shinning on these flowers sitting in the center of the room. It’s all about the light!
Practice will help me become a better photographer. However, some people think I’m a bit nuts when I take images of the simple things that don’t seem that important. Case in point is this small metal vase my parents received as a gift from friends who visited China. I saw the light coming in the window, was quickly attracted to the scene and felt it was an excellent opportunity to practice. So, while mom and dad watch in confusion, their son is firing away and chimping at the familiar.
I find myself walking around with camera in hand, searching for what is unseen. The unseen is often always visible, just not seen. I can overlook the obvious unless I slow down, look from within. When I do look those shadows, lines and textures will shout for my attention then I see. Today I chased shadows.
