stepping into water…
losing my way

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.

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.
The twilight bell
I waited for
is sounding–
if tomorrow is granted me,
I’ll listen for it again.

An English sub excerpt from the South Korean drama,
“Partners for Justice,” episode 11.
Stellar Hwag: “The meat here just got out of rigor mortis, so it’s super delicious.”
Cha Soo-Ho: “What? Rigor mortis?”
Stellar Hwag: “It’s too tough right after slaughter. But if it’s too ripe, it starts to decompose. Beef ribs are perfect when the temperature and time are right.”
…
Stellar Hwag: “Ripening and decomposition straddle a very thin line. Got it?”
… in recent years, …studies are confirming the health benefits of meat-free eating. Nowadays, plant-based eating is recognized as not only nutritionally sufficient but also as a way to reduce the risk for many chronic illnesses. According to the American Dietetic Association, “appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. cited: Harvard Health

When I look up at
The wide-stretched plain of heaven,
Is the moon the same
That rose on Mount Mikasa
In the land of Kasuga?
