This is my white on white take on today's We're Here challenge.

A dead shell was floating. Ripples were formed in the wind. I thought it would be a nice composition!

This is such a special place to me, it just had a view like no other and a lot of movies have been shot there! This photo is part of my Los Angeles book. If you are interested in coming to my book signing on the 25th here are all the infos: business.facebook.com/events/284179825660018/
The yellow grass (at this time of the year), green bushes, brown trees and the reddish soil at the Tsavo National Park create a very interesting and earthy palette of colors for photography. The zebras with their high contrast, black and white patterns fit very nicely into this palette, and open the door to an endless number of different compositional possibilities.

Ryōan-ji is a Zen temple located in northwest Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Myōshin-ji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism. The Ryōan-ji garden is considered one of the finest surviving examples of kare-sansui ("dry landscape"), a refined type of Japanese Zen temple garden design generally featuring distinctive larger rock formations arranged amidst a sweep of smooth pebbles (small, carefully selected polished river rocks) raked into linear patterns that facilitate meditation. The temple and its gardens are listed as one of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, and as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The site of the temple was an estate of the Fujiwara clan in the 11th century. The first temple, the Daiju-in, and the still existing large pond were built in that century by Fujiwara Saneyoshi. In 1450, Hosokawa Katsumoto, another powerful warlord, acquired the land where the temple stood. He built his residence there, and founded a Zen temple, Ryōan-ji. During the Ōnin War between the clans, the temple was destroyed. Hosokawa Katsumoto died in 1473, and in 1488 his son, Hosokawa Masamoto, rebuilt the temple.
The temple served as a mausoleum for several emperors. Their tombs are grouped together in what are today known as the "Seven Imperial Tombs" at Ryōan-ji. The burial places of these emperors—Uda, Kazan, Ichijō, Go-Suzaku, Go-Reizei, Go-Sanjō, and Horikawa—would have been comparatively humble in the period after their deaths. These tombs reached their present state as a result of the 19th century restoration of imperial sepulchers (misasagi) which were ordered by Emperor Meiji.
There is controversy over who built the garden and when. Most sources date it to the second half of the 15th century. According to some sources, it was built by Hosokawa Katsumoto, the creator of the first temple of Ryōan-ji, between 1450 and 1473. Other sources say it was built by his son, Hosokawa Masamoto, in or around 1488. Some say that the garden was built by the famous landscape painter and monk, Sōami (died 1525), but this is disputed by other authors. Some sources say the garden was built in the first half of the 16th century, others reckon later, during the Edo period, between 1618 and 1680. There is also controversy over whether the garden was built by monks, or by professional gardeners, called kawaramono, or a combination of the two. One stone in the garden has the name of two kawaramono carved into it, Hirokojirō and Kotarō.
The conclusive history, though, based on documentary sources, is as follows: Hosokawa Katsumoto (1430–1473), deputy to the shōgun, founded in 1450 the Ryōan-ji temple, but the complex was burnt down during the Ōnin War. His son Masamoto rebuilt the temple at the very end of the same century. It is not clear whether any garden was constructed at that time facing the main hall. First descriptions of a garden, clearly describing one in front of the main hall, date from 1680–1682. It is described as a composition of nine big stones laid out to represent Tiger Cubs Crossing the Water. As the garden has fifteen stones at present, it was clearly different from the garden that we see today. A great fire destroyed the buildings in 1779, and rubble of the burnt buildings was dumped in the garden. Garden writer and specialist Akisato Rito (died c. 1830) redid the garden completely on top of the rubble at the end of the eighteenth century and published a picture of his garden in his Celebrated Gardens and Sights of Kyoto (Miyako rinsen meisho zue) of 1799, showing the garden as it looks today. One big stone at the back was buried partly; it has two first names carved in it, probably names of untouchable stone workers, so called kawaramono. There is no evidence of Zen monks having worked on the garden, apart from the raking of the sand.

I’ll use that to build my abstract composition. I’m going to use this reference image for building my composition. I love the color and the shadows towards the bottom, this creates my message.
During our workshop in Joshua Tree, we were told about a wash filled with desert flowers. Kevin McNeal, Steve Sieren and I decided to check it out one evening. Now you have to understand, Kevin is from the Pacific Northwest, and so he was understandably excited at the possibility of capturing the Joshua Tree National Park in bloom.
What greeted us was a patchy field of flowers, so delicate that the slightest whisper of air moved the petals and a hazy Southern California sky. Watching Kevin hunt around for a composition, was a wonderful learning experience...or more aptly a one man stand-up comedy act. By positioning my camera, low to the ground , angling it to find the maximum group of plants in one spot, waiting for a break in the wind, and a few other tricks along the way, I managed to capture the moment.
I can’t say enough about what I learned from Kevin at the Mountain High Joshua Tree Workshop. If you have time, they are hosting another workshop in the Tetons and Yellowstone, May 30th-June 5th. at www.mountainhighworkshops.com.
Also check out Kevin’s new site www.photocascadia.com.
The Dune Evening Primrose are lovely to capture during the sunset as they open in the early evening and close in mid-morning, making the desert appear as if it is covered with tissue paper.
