Grass weighted down by heavy dew, swaying. This was an early morning, long exposure shot with a bit of added intentional camera movement.
For the Macro Mondays Theme: The eye of the beholder.
Fascinating how a substance can both heal or kill. In the correct dosage we call it a medicine, so it heals or improves certain diseases and disorders. In the wrong amount we call it poison, this same substance can make us more sick or even kill us. Of course nobody wants to use medicines voluntarily, we all hope to grow old healthily. Luckily a lot of illnesses and disorders can be cured nowadays, so when we need them, we can use the right medication.
For this week's theme I made an abstract photo of a capsule. I work in a pharmacy and working with medicines is my daily routine. Even though we all hope we won't have to use them, for me there is a certain beauty in it. The power of a chemical struture wich can either heal or kill... (and for me the healing part is the beauty-part)
Thank you for your time, faves and comments, it's much appreciated.
Happy Macro Mondays
A shot of a water bottle reflecting flickr from my pc monitor.
An idea probably subconciously inspired by Jane In Colours excellent work on Cross Polarisation (set) (please check it out if you haven't already!) .
I have also experimented with light through plastic water bottles (with water in them) in one of my earlier (Flickr infancy) shot CD Water Drops #2.
A cousin shot to abstract #8

Friends, when I was in my mid-40s (before I ever picked up a camera) an intuitive/seer told me that I was an artist who needed to be making art. I resonated with what she said. I immediately bought some art materials and started making art. No instruction. Among the first images I made were many mandalas ... all about the circle form. I recently came across some of those early creations in an old portfolio and had them made into digital images so I could share them with you. This one, Cosmic Abstract, was made with art markers on poster board (and countless hours of obsessive detailing, lol!)
My intention was to suggest a many-layered multi-dimensional reality wherein the unseen, due to its vastness, can only be pointed to, but is both very real and more monumental than all of that which can be seen. Since I will be 'graduating' from Planet Earth this month, sharing these is a now-or-never deal. More to come. Many blessings to you all. Thank you, from deep in my heart, for your interest in my work. ♥ K.
(p.s.: the "Taken on November 3, 2016" under the image is incorrect. That's the date I loaded the digitized image onto my computer. I created this piece sometime in 2000 or 1999.)

"Avendo visto con quale lucidità e coerenza logica certi pazzi giustificano a se stessi e agli altri, le loro idee deliranti, ho perduto per sempre la sicura certezza della lucidità della mia lucidità ."
(Fernando Pessoa, Il libro dell'inquietudine, 1982 )
It's all natural baby! (No processing) I took this one through my car window while waiting at a red light. Just cropped it to square and got a nice abstract out of it. Okay, I did apply a tiny tiny bit of Orton effect to it. Really tiny.
