    A Rainy Night

    Vase

    “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”  Albert Einstein

    A trip to a couple of second hand stores was needed after moving into this apartment. In one of the stores I found several vases and jars to put in my kitchen above the cabinets, all for under a dollar. I think they add something to the feel of the kitchen and make for interesting subjects to photograph on a rainy night two days ago. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

    The Little Vase

    Chinese Vase

    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.

    Shadows

    Flower Shadows

    While walking through the hotel lobby I noticed these small vases with flowers on each table. The morning sun was coming through the eastern windows and casting these wonderful shadows across the table. There were many colors and types of flowers but the subject of my eye was the shadows. I focused and pressed the shutter. Now I have a visual image of that shadow knowing it could be used on photoblog. Shadows are a subject my eye is drawn to, why?
