Moody Monochrome with Fujifilm’s stimulation recipes
While wandering about WP, I was introduced to the world of Fujifilm simulation recipes. Thank you Ritchie (fujixweely.com) for the Fujifilm Moody Monochrome recipe. It was a great photo companion this morning.

WOW … words of wisdom, 5
‘… if you were in some prison the walls of which let none of the sounds of the world come to your senses—would you not then still have your childhood, that precious, kingly possession, that treasure-house of memories.” Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet. Pg. 17.

leaves
The grass does not refuse
To flourish in the spring wind;
The leaves are not angry
At falling through the autumn sky.
Who with whip or spur
Can urge the feet of Time?
The things of the world flourish and decay,
Each at its own hour. ~Li Po (cited: Trans: A Waley & B Li, The Poet Li Po. Project Gutenberg Ebook)
lens-artist photo challenge: getting to know you
This week scillagrace invites us to share Getting To Know You photographs that show our relationship with a subject that generated our attention, won our affection and taught us a thing or two.

we make friends…

I enjoy photo walk abouts…it is as if a camera has a third eye that invites me to look/see. Over time, I’ve enjoyed expanding my efforts to include using double exposure, long exposure, window reflections in street photography.
Introducing body language as a way to introduce emotions within street photography.
Exploring window reflections as a means to compose a frame within a frame as well as create an abstract street image.
Accepting the challenge of in-camera double exposure.
And…may I invite you to spend a few minutes watching a mom and child, getting to know each other through laughter and validation. I know you will find yourself smiling.

still life … josef sudek study #2
Czech photographer, Josef Sudek (1896-1976), known as the ‘Poet of Prague’, was drawn to desolate landscapes, simple, solitary objects and the quiet, unpopulated street scenes of Prague, a city to which he dedicated his whole life. He was the first photographer to be honoured by the Republic with the title of ‘Artist of Merit’ and in his 70th year, his life’s work was recognised by the ‘Order of Labour’. (cited: Huxley-Parlour Gallery)

lens artist photo challenge: favorite photos of 2020
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
“it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
“it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
“it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the winter of despair,
“we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
“we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
“– in short, the period was so far like the present period,
“that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received,
“for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.” ~Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities.
Quote from Charles Dickens’, A Tale of Two Cities, and images submitted in response to Travels and Trifles first photo challenge for 2021.
lens-artists photo challenge: focus on the subject
This week Patti invites us to explore the various composition elements that invite viewers to focus on the subject : leading lines, patterns, color, contrast, selective focus, freezing the action, doorways or arches, or human/animal eyes.
Be safe. Be well. Be sage.
