a man…
“A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right. A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice. A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true.”
~Dr. Martin Luther King (Selma, Alabama, 8 March 1965)

my heart fades…
While watching
the long rains falling on this world
my heart, too, fades
with the unseen color
of the spring flowers.

Let us…
Let us seek the past,
be an age
that cherishes the old–
then our “today” one day
will be someone’s “long ago”

Water in its many manifestations: clouds, fog, snow, dew-drops, rain, ice, rivers, oceans, waves, mist, falls, glaciers, sprinklers..fill we with wonder.
Submitted in response to lens-artist photo challenge: wonder…a moment, a feeling, a place, a person–which filled you with wonder.

a photo study: street photography II
This week’s photo study was inspired by The Candid Frame’s video in which Ibarionex speaks about the opportunities of light and shadow that a photographer will find in rural communities as well as in the dynamics of cities such as New York or Hong Kong.
Bring out the play of light and shadow within the scene.
Be open to how light and shadow shifts the mundane into something exciting.
Allow the shadows to go black by adjusting the exposure.
Find a scene and wait…
I appreciate the encouragement to silence the envy when viewing photographs created within the dynamics of large urban areas by waking up to the amazing opportunities of light and shadow one will find…anywhere.
I hope you, too, are inspired by The Candid Frame’s video, Street Photography Anywhere. I am looking forward to reading your comments and seeing how you play with light and shadow within your town. Let’s tag with #aphotostudy.
