Fuji X-E2 plus Helios 44M-7 at F11. I tend to think that I learn best (most thorough, that is) when I have to struggle with the matter. If the matter in hand does not put up resistance to understanding, there is nothing to learn. Can this relationship be transferred to photography? If it can, are those photos best where the photographer had to struggle with the resistance of the subject matter? Would this then exclude the "snapshot" - something that (quite unintentionally) might turn out as pretty good. It is at this stage that the issue of objectification pops up. Turning something or someone into a camera object means that photographers force their will upon a subject - breaking its resistance. Photography then becomes a oneway street and there is no communication or dialogue between photographer and subject. The result could be sentimental, even Kitsch, the proliferation of cliches and the like. Should we then apply a golden rule to photography, namely to treat our subject the same way we ourselves would like to be treated?
Number 2 in my theme for this week Isolated Object. In a previous 365 series I found this abandoned workman's boot on a grass verge in Peacehaven, East Sussex, UK.

I couldn't think of anything to draw.I should be ashamed of myself of course cause there's plenty to draw.Here are a few examples:-)
Most of you know by now how I love 'playing' with light, a never ending beautiful challenge, food for my creative soul, which I so desperately need at the moment...
Each flower or object, most definitely people, seem to have a different 'personality' which I'm trying to capture.
Alstroemeria, the genus named after the Swedish baron Alströmer who brought them back from a trip to South America in 1753.
Also called the Peruvian Lily or Inca Lily, is a South American genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.
The flower, which resembles a miniature lily, is very popular for bouquets and flower arrangements in the commercial cut flower trade.
They have a vase life of about two weeks.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

Here's a female Hooded Merganser with HER crayfish. You can see the object here is to break those legs off for easier swallowing. Her hood is a bit flat here but when fully fluffed, she's a knockout. The first sign I get for female vs immature/nonbreeding male is the yellowy color in her beak, while the male's is solid black. Second is the deep brown eye, vs. the male's golden eye.
The first time I eventually realized when I was looking at a nonbreeding male, he was with some breeders and seemed to be practicing his moves and I thought it was a misguided female. Only later did I get it.
For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "One single object"
My favourite and quite iconic sunspecs. The Porsche Carrera 5620, made famous by Yoko Ono.
The theme for today mentioned "One Object – One Story" and I chose these for the story that they tell in my life 😊
I've always needed to wear sunspecs or I squint and my eyes water! But before the "swinging sixties" they drew unwelcome attention in my part of the UK! Comments in the street … I was considered "uppity" and pretentious. But with the pop groups and the films of the 60's they gradually became accepted …. and I could wear them in peace. And then they began to appear in wonderful shapes and colours too!
Looking back it seems like another world … but I still treasure my remaining pairs of 'designer' specs, and Yoko's in particular!
Crazy Tuesday: Here
Everyday Things : Here
PORTO (Portugal): "Plantoir" (Colher de jardineiro)
Esta escultura de Claes Oldenburg e Coosje van Bruggen, transforma um objecto de uso comum – uma colher de jardineiro – numa gigantesca peça de uso impossível. Reflecte o espírito pop destes artistas e o gosto pela elevação de objectos banais à condição de objecto artístico, tornando presente o próprio quotidiano como se uma lupa o ampliasse. Esta peça constitui uma referência ao próprio acto de plantar, tornando-se num símbolo e numa metáfora da intervenção qualificada do homem na natureza, podendo ser visto de 3 pontos diferentes: o caminho do jardim, a casa, e a rua, proporcionando um forte contraste com o espaço envolvente. Toda a sua força converge para o chão, para a terra, muito embora desça de uma grande altitude. Canelada nas costas e lisa por dentro, parece ter sido concebida a pensar na natureza, revelando o interesse destes artistas pela paisagem.

Blossoms from a tree are falling on the sidewalk in a neighbor's yard in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max set to Raw and Macro. Edited in Lightroom Classic.
For the Crazy Tuesday theme of different objects of the same color… bet you’re surprised they aren’t blue!!
I found this withered anemone branch last year while cleaning up the garden and thought it made a good subject for stacking. At that time I was very busy trying out different approaches to stacking. I have now arrived at a method that gives me the best results. This was one of my first pictures with it.

The Gernheim glassworks
is a location of the LWL industrial museum in Petershagen-Ovenstädt in North Rhine-Westphalia. The museum is located in the historic buildings of the former glassworks, which produced glass as an early industrial factory from 1812 to 1877. With three glass melting furnaces, it was temporarily one of the most important factories in north-west Germany. After the derelict facilities were taken over by the Westphalia-Lippe Regional Council in 1983 and restored, they were opened as a museum on November 7, 1998.
