My online journal where I share my interests in photography, nature, journaling, fountain pens, bicycling, coffee life, spirituality and the mystery of it all.
Everything is a subject. Every subject has a rhythm. To feel it is the raison d’être. The photograph is a fixed moment of such a raison d’être, which lives on in itself.

Two empty benches in the courtyard of one of our hotels. Not sure what the subject is that drew me to make this image. I think it’s the contrast between the white benches and the dark shadows against the wall.
A few years ago I made myself a project to shoot one bench a day for a month. Had fun with it. But, danged if it didn’t turn into a habit. And by habit I mean my eye is pulled towards them. After we buy an new car that seems to be all we see on the road. Everyone has one. For me it seems that once we find something that interests us, our eyes will look for ways “we” want to photograph them. So while on a walk about a week ago in Blendon Woods Park I spotted this bench with sunshine all over it. I also find it’s nice to park myself on them and just take it all in. Have a great Sunday!
A few years ago I gave myself a month long project to photograph a bench-a-day. It was an interesting project and ever since I find my eye moving towards them.
