Micro-événement : projection sur le mur de l'ombre d'une chaînette de traction à perles en marge d'un rayon de lumière hachuré photographiée en gros plan.
On peut y voir un point de couture ou une fermeture à glissière, mais aussi des 0 et des 1, et peut-être autre chose encore? Le moindre motif peut être interprété comme un signe, et chaque signe prête à de multiples interprétations.
Les images minimalistes passent généralement inaperçues parce qu'elles sont « discrètes » au sens mathématique du terme. Leurs subtils éléments discontinus se chargent d'un sens instable dans le temps, et selon le temps qu'on leur consacre. Quand l'observateur s'y arrête par curiosité, il se retrouve devant « un arrêt sur l'image » qui peut constituer pour lui un moment de récréation mentale, d'évasion du quotidien.

Micro-event: projection on the wall of the shadow of a beaded pull chain on the margin of a cross-hatched ray of light photographed in close-up.
You can see a stitch or a zipper, but also 0s and 1s, and maybe something else? The slightest pattern can be interpreted as a sign, and each sign lends itself to multiple interpretations.
Minimalist images generally go unnoticed because they are "discrete" in the mathematical sense of the word. Their subtle discontinuous elements take on an unstable meaning over time, and depending on how much time is devoted to them. When the viewer stops for a moment out of curiosity, he or she finds himself or herself in front of a "freeze frame" that can provide a moment of mental recreation, an escape from everyday life.

As the glass falls to the ground, Matt comes to the realization that he is not in the place he thought he was. No this place is a lab. The chemicals around him distort his senses even more than they were before. A man steps out of a fog-like haze that was in front of Matt's already hindered vision. The man is wearing a mask to cover his face and a long cape to cover his body. Matt deduces that the large cape and cloak around the man is probably to hide the frail physic of his body. The mask however is a strange decision as obviously with Matt's lack of mask the man knows that Matt is blind. The man breaks the silence with a chilling and almost inhuman voice.
"Ah, you're awake and out of your cell. A shame you had to break your cell. Those did cost so much money to install."
"Who are you?"
"Oh, that's right, you might not remember me, seeing how the last time we talked you were under the impression of my new fear-inducing chemicals. My name is Mister Fear, obviously not my real name, but that's all you get for the time being."
"Where am I and why am I here?"
"You Matt, or should I call you Daredevil?"
"..."
"You, Daredevil, are here in my lab, just outside Hell's Kitchen, to be my test subject."
"Test subject?"
"Ah yes, like I said, my fear-inducing chemical. I prefer chemical over toxin as it sounds less cynical, but that's not important. What is important is the side effects of the chemical. The very real dream, or nightmare to be more specific, state you are put in is the result of the chemical."
"Why me?"
"'The Man Without Fear.' That's what they call you. I just had to test that. To my surprise, and mild enjoyment I found that the title is just a newspaper worthy title. 'The Man with Little Fear,' that doesn't really sell papers, now does it?"
Matt steps back to the wall and as discretely as possible grabs a piece of glass that was still connected to the wall.
"My pain will no longer be an outlet for your amusement!"
Matt charges at Mister Fear with the glass shard aimed towards the man's head. Mister Fear dodges the first swing, but unfortunately for him gets hit by the second swing which connected to his side. The pain of the cut caused the man to fall to the floor in pain and grab his side.
"No! Please!"
After the sunset, I waited a few hours in my car, lost in the middle of lavenders field, processing the photos I had just took, to wait for the good moment to start the night session, having the milky way at the right place
I then walked a couple of hundred meters along a private track, with unfriendly signs every 10 meters in a lot of languages, to forbid people to go. Sound like locals can't stand tourists anymore, coming each year to chill in the lavenders fields.
I tried to be very discrete, but the owner's dog barked during the whole session each time I made any sound or tiny movement.
They finally released their dog who ran directly to me.
It was time for me to leave I guess, as my new spot mate was not that ... friendly !

Maybe it's wrong when we remember breakthroughs to our own being as something that occurs in discrete, extraordinary moments. Maybe falling in love, the piercing knowledge that we ourselves will someday die, and the love of snow are in reality not some sudden events; maybe they were always present. Maybe they never completely vanish, either. ~Peter Høeg, "Smilla's Sense of Snow"
It might seem odd, to include such a wintery image in the midst of spring, but let me tell you this: the above image is actually from only a couple of weeks ago, when the plum trees were in full bloom, the daffodils up and the crocuses almost past their season. I had agreed to meet Holly downtown to photograph the budding cherry trees, but a cold snap in Portland gave us fog and snow in the hills... so we went in search of winter weather instead.
Here's Holly's video from that day.
Image made with a Hasselblad 500 C/M.

My Midi-Scale collection expands again with this nanofig-scaled Havoc Marauder from the Bad Batch series. Despite the small size, I once again went for a full SNOT look and paid close attention to proportions of the original shuttle.
The build comes with a discrete, transparent stand to be displayed in flight mode.

In Papua New Guinea, there are more than more than 850 discrete spoken languages, and until recently, none of them were written down. Even today, adult literacy sits at less than 62%. In a historically nonliterate society with more than 7000 diverse cultural groups, one of the most popular means of education has been through costume, song, and dance.
This is one reason sing sings so important.

American Oystercatcher
The American Oystercatchers are a group of waders forming the family Haematopodidae, which has a single genus, Haematopus. They are found on coasts worldwide apart from the Polar Regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia. The exception to this is the Eurasian Oystercatcher and the South Island Oystercatcher, both of which breed inland, far inland in some cases. In the past there has been a great deal of confusion as to the species limits, with discrete populations of all black oystercatchers being afforded specific status but pied oystercatchers being considered one single species.
The name Oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. Palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name Sea Pie.

The American robin is active mostly during the day and assembles in large flocks at night. Its diet consists of invertebrates (such as beetle grubs, earthworms, and caterpillars), fruits, and berries. It is one of the earliest bird species to lay its eggs, beginning to breed shortly after returning to its summer range from its winter range. The robin's nest consists of long coarse grass, twigs, paper, and feathers, and is smeared with mud and often cushioned with grass or other soft materials. It is among the earliest birds to sing at dawn, and its song consists of several discrete units that are repeated.
Silver-studded Blue / plebejus argus. Westleton Heath, Suffolk. 29/06/18.
This image brings back happy memories of a flaming June afternoon spent on a heathland last summer. I found a spot that was literally a-flutter with Silver-studded Blues, my best encounter with the species ever. Despite the intense heat, I stayed for hours watching the magical spectacle unfold.
Photography was challenging because they were so flighty and restless in the heat and harsh light. Added to this, their choice of perches was generally against a messy background. I certainly had to work hard to make my images and was thankful to be wearing my battered straw hat and have plenty of water and sunscreen. Without them I couldn't have stayed long!
Later in the afternoon the butterflies went into 'rest mode', even though I couldn't sense any drop in temperature. They started to stay longer on perches and I found this pristine female. Perched low on a plant growing in the track, she offered the best photo opportunity of the afternoon. She proved there is a truth in the adage: 'No Pain, No Gain' ... what a little gem she was :-)
Sunlight passes through the unique glass paned oblique-angled walls of the Seattle Central Library. The 11-story glass and steel building in downtown Seattle, Washington was opened to the public on May 23, 2004.
Rem Koolhaas was the principal architect. It has a unique, striking appearance, consisting of several discrete "floating platforms" seemingly wrapped in a large steel net around glass skin. In 2007, the building was voted #108 on the American Institute of Architects' list of Americans' 150 favorite structures in the US. Professor Koolhaas also designed the flagship Prada Store in Beverly Hills.
A few weeks back, I purchased a DG Vario 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Mk. 2 lens for use with my LUMIX G9. I wanted a few things from this lens; more reach to capture very isolated compositions in landscapes, the ability to loiter at a more discrete distance for candid street photos and to have a go at wildlife. This morning we had a rather unexpected visit from a Pheasant in our garden. The bird was very docile and compliant; an unusually easy opportunity for my first attempt at a ‘proper’ bird photo.

The name oystercatcher was coined by Mark Catesby in 1731 as a common name for the North American species H. palliatus, described as eating oysters. Yarrell in 1843 established this as the preferred term, replacing the older name sea pie or sea-pie. The genus name Haematopus comes from the Greek haima αἳμα blood, pous πούς foot.
The different species of oystercatcher show little variation in shape or appearance. They range from 39–50 cm (15–20 in) in length and 72–91 cm (28–36 in) in wingspan. The Eurasian oystercatcher is the lightest on average, at 526 g (1.160 lb), while the sooty oystercatcher is the heaviest, at 819 g (1.806 lb). The plumage of all species is either all-black, or black (or dark brown) on top and white underneath. The variable oystercatcher is slightly exceptional in being either all-black or pied. They are large, obvious, and noisy plover-like birds, with massive long orange or red bills used for smashing or prying open molluscs. The bill shape varies between species, according to the diet. Those birds with blade-like bill tips pry open or smash mollusc shells, and those with pointed bill tips tend to probe for annelid worms. They show sexual dimorphism, with females being longer-billed and heavier than males.

Atrium insie the Beekman Hotel in lower Manhattan. It was built in the mid-1800's as an apartment building, then became an office building and it's most recent incarnation is a hotel. It is quite beautiful inside and very popular. But you can only use your cell phone for photos and at that you have to be discrete. :(

Giovedì giornata uggiosissima, piovigginava ...
proprio una giornata da pernici.
Mi hanno regalato una bellissima giornata fotografica.
Un gruppo nutrito, con rappresentanti di almeno tre classi di età, compresi i pulcini visti a luglio ma ormai cresciuti.
Osservandole ho notato una cosa bellissima; sono discrete chiaccherone e quando mangiano ci sono almeno due anziane immobili che vigilano ai bordi della zona di pastura.
Incredibile ! Sanno leggere e scrivere.
Nel fine settimana non ho sentito i cacciatori, meglio così, troppo belle per finire in una bisaccia .....
Partridge under the rain
Thursday, was a very stinking day, it was a partridge day.
They gave me a lot of pictures.
The group is numerically fed, with representatives of at least three age classes, including chicks seen in July but now grown.
Observing them I noticed a beautiful thing; when they eat there are at least two elderly stills that watch over the edges of the pasture area. Incredible! They know how to read and write.
This weekend I have not heard the hunters, better this way, too beautiful to end up in a bag .....

- Ne manque que l’odeur des clochettes et le bourdonnement des abeilles.
Ses fleurs en clochettes crème ou jaunes apparaissent en automne. Plutôt discrètes visuellement, elles sont olfactivement bien présentes, dégageant un doux parfum proche de l’odeur du muguet. Les baies noires qui en découlent offrent à la petite faune un repas qu’elle apprécie.
- Missing the smell of bells and the buzzing of bees.
Its cream or yellow bell flowers appear in autumn. Rather discreet visually, they are clearly present in the nose, giving off a sweet scent close to the smell of lily of the valley. The resulting black berries provide the small fauna with a meal that they appreciate.
Really pleased to see this as I was leaving my in-laws yesterday. One of those emergency stop situations as I'd seen it pull in to the garage up ahead. Had to be a little discrete taking the pic hence the not-great quality.
This part of the world is so wet I'm surprised this has lasted so long. The Daihatsu Fourtrak is still very popular survivor round here.
Serck plate is a bonus.
Common Blue / polyommatus icarus. Stanton Sidings, Derbyshire. 07/08/17.
Male Common Blue sitting it out on a not so pleasant summer's afternoon. He was starting to look a bit frayed round the edges!
La très discrète chapelle Saint Fiacre et ses chênes creux en lisière de Broceliande, émergent des brumes matinales sur le Morbihan !
On dit qu'entre 1940 et 1944, 4 jeunes gens (un prisonnier évadé et trois réfractaires au travail obligatoire en Allemagne) ont aménagé des cachettes dans les gros chênes creux qui entourent la chapelle.
Cachés là, ils ne furent jamais pris.
Quelques similitudes avec le chêne à Guillotin qui se trouve à quelques kilométres de là, car lui aussi servit de cachette à un prêtre réfractaire, poursuivi par les soldats ....
Mais ça, c'est une autre histoire.
La Bretagne et ses bijoux cachés ... un trésor à portée de tous.

A grand spectacle set in a jungle and rivaled only by Victoria Falls in Africa. Iguacu's curtain is 2.5 kilometers wide containing about 270 discrete falls. The Iguaçu falls are on the Iguaçu River which defines the border between Argentina and Brazil in the northeast corner of Argentina. Since this photograph is taken from the Brazilian side of the river, I've used the Portuguese spelling of "Iguaçu".
You can see the platform where I took the "Iguacu Falls" photo from in this photo.
The old parts of Gion in Kyoto take you back 100 years in time. Ghosts of geisha roaming the streets with rich clients and disapearing forever being the discrete noren of high end nomiya.

Inside the Vatican museums. I do like the (half-) hidden door. I would guess it was more meant as a discrete entrance for servants, than a short-cut for assassins though.
Entre la rudesse de l'insecte et la douceur de la fleur, un exemple de cohabitation discrète. Entre beauté et nécessité, le résultat de l'équilibre dans la nature.
Between the harshness of the insect and the gentleness of the flower, an example of discreet cohabitation. Between beauty and necessity, the result of balance in nature.

Une petite chapelle perdue en campagne comme il y'en a un grand nombre en #Bretagne, c'est un réel plaisir de les trouver.
Certaines sont, heureusement, encore entretenues par des bénévoles, des associations de préservation du #patrimoine alors, un grand merci à eux !
En general les aus limícoles son força porugues i discretes, però aquesta gamba roja vulgar (tringa totanus) estava buscant menjar tranquilament uns deu metres davant nostre, a plena vista. De ben segur ajudava el lloc, la Punta de la Banya, un magnífic santuari ornitologic del delta del Ebre.

=============================================
Waders are quite usually shy birds, but this one common redshank (tringa totanus) was searching the marsh just in front of us.
White Letter Hairstreak / satyrium w-album. Cloud Wood, Leicestershire. 10/07/18.
I enjoyed a couple of photography sessions with a small WLH colony back in July.
In the heat of the afternoon they, (max 4 seen at any one time) would descend to nectar on bramble flowers. They always seemed extremely lethargic so I was able to get very close without disturbing them. Whenever they decided they'd had enough of one flower, their movement was invariably just a short flutter to the next. I’ve never found this species to be so obliging before!
