"my silent world"

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

Minimalist B/W for Less is More, Black and White, and possibly Macro Mondays

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

#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.

...before the plane crash in it...

one

 

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

Macro Monday - Less is more

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.

A serie about hang out and hanging

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.

Menos chamas, mais brasas (less flames, embers more)
