Biei, Hokkaido 2025. This part of Japan is famous for its trees. It’s the lesser known ones that are interesting to me, like this one found beside a road.

This has been my darkroom for the last couple of weeks. Nothing fancy, as you can see, but it enabled me to quickly develop my 4x5 negatives, as I was shooting them, and later make contact prints . #lessismore
For Macro Monday theme - made from metal.
I had this ring made when we visited Bruges a few years ago.
Apologies once again for the lack of comments. We are away for two more weeks and then I will be able to start to comment...maybe when I am awake in the middle of the night with jet lag! ;) HMM

My attempt at a series of minimalist images. All images are taken spontaneously from my everyday life, and are therefore a mix of phone and camera shots. Enjoy - Jadsp

“I don’t think we can sit on the fence anymore. We have to make up our minds. And if one wants to choose the path of darkness, then so be it, but be conscious of what it is that you are doing.” -- Seal
driving across country came upon the town of Chillicothe, Texas - wow - what a place - like a Hollywood set of a town used for something like "The Last Picture Show" - desolate, fierce winds relentlessly kicking up dust and blowing tumbleweed across the roads - abandoned, boarded up buildings dating back to the 30's - everything in complete decay - a photographic disneyland of texture details - this closeup was from a window pane of a former gas station that must have been abandoned more than 40 ago - Chillicothe's population (according to the one store that was open) is down to 600 - it's peak was in 1950 with a pop. at 1,400

33/52: The 52 week challenge - Choose your favourite poem and try to represent a line of it visually.
Much as I like poetry I don't have a favourite poem. So, thanks to www.flickr.com/photos/rockinmonique/ idea of using a song, I am going down that route too...hope you don't mind Monique! :)
I am a big Joni Mitchell fan and I think Blue is probably my all time favourite album. Little Green is from that album and is such a lovely but sad song about a young girl having to give her baby up for adoption. I love the line - 'Little Green, have a happy ending'. Joni Mitchell wrote this and another song in the same vein. As a young woman she gave her daughter up for adoption and was later reunited with her...she had her happy ending.

Born with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she'll answer too
Call her green and the winters can not fade her
Call her green for the children who have made her
Little, green, be a gypsy dancer
He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter, say, "her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little, green, he's a non-comformer
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the night's when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you're sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry but you're not ashamed
Little green, have a happy ending
Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the night's when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Thought of this idea when I was doing some sewing the other day.

#21 October 2017: A month in 31 pictures
The cosmos were being battered by gale force winds so I picked them for a photo. I think they'll last longer in a vase than out in the elements.

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
For pca55 – Topic: "Less Is More"
WIT: To me "less is more" is a way of seeing the world. It's an approach I try to take in most of my photos, so I really enjoyed this topic!
We took a day trip in the car yesterday, and I came across this abandoned building.
The selective view draws attention not only to the elements but also to the lines and shapes that materialize.
The photo is uncropped. PP: I created an HDR base from the RAW file to bring out the colors a little more, then applied a light texture I created.
70mm, f/5.6, 1/160, ISO 400
When I was shooting the minimalism in the Garry Point beach, a little girl came to me and asked what is that? I believe she thought I was shooting interesting animals in water.
She said that is a seal. I think it was just a stone since it was not moving at all.
Whenever a photographer points the camera in a direction, people will think there must be an animal or birds in the scene. :o)
Many photographers including me actually don’t take animal pictures.
Just another minimalism shot in Garry Point.
Happy Thursday!

#lessIsMore
Almost lost in darkness, the sun shines its bounty on the metal shapes next to glass. Curves appear as a chair shows off its lovely contours and the table gives a hint of its presence. Lot's of negative space and the weight of elements within the frame add drama. Contrast provides energy - a silhouette of light and dark. Color detracted, so it's gone. Doesn't take a lot to make things interesting.

For 52 of Twenty Eleven
Week #49
Theme: Less is More
Yesterday I hopped in my jeep and drove out to Elk Island National Park hoping to find inspiration for this week's theme. I arrived there within an hour of sunset and soaked up its wonderful quietness and solitude. As I drove into the park, I saw a couple of bison and a coyote...and I smiled. The sky soon took on the warm colours of sunset, and I was drawn to the silhouettes of the trees against that gorgeous backdrop.
I took this shot looking up at the top of this tree against the sunset, using a 200mm focal length.
Luca,
