What is the difference between the transparency of space and the presence of place?
Inspired by Harry Gruyaert. photo; Ouarzazate.
For months I have been studying and shooting the transparency of space like Stephen Shore. Then I was introduced to this cat Gruyaret and his compelling embracing of empty place.
This is supposed to get easier not harder !!!!
The relationship between the runner and that car are vital to the structure of the center stage. While the people and poles at the periphery are important in creating the gateway to the back of the picture.
Today I returned to the place that I spread my big boy Milo's ashes. In the week since we have experienced 14 inches of rain, a destructive east coast low we haven't since the likes of since in the 1990's and finally the huge swells from a cyclone just off our coast. Nobby's beach has changed dramatically in that time. I kind of think the Good Lord took Milo's ashes out to sea in a way I could not.
“All events and experiences are local, somewhere. And all human enhancements of events and experiences -- all the arts -- are regional in the sense that they derive from immediate relation to felt life.
It is this immediacy that distinguishes art. And paradoxically the more local the feeling in art, the more all people can share it; for that vivid encounter with the stuff of the world is our common ground.
Artists, knowing this mutual enrichment that extends everywhere, can act, and praise, and criticize, as insiders -- the means of art is the life of all people. And that life grows and improves by being shared. Hence, it is good to welcome any region you live in or come to, or think of, for that is where life happens to be, right where you are.”

During my travels with my camera I've discovered al handful of spots that have morphed into what I call my "quiet places." In most cases, these are go-to spots for when I'm feeling in need of a little peace and quiet from this crazy world we live in. This spot along Dry Creek fits the bill.
The old bridge dates to the beginning of the 20th century and is used for cattle and pedestrians only--and there are very few of either around. The sunlight on the still water is quite conducive to meditative states. Another great spot to remove the shoes and dangle the feet.

My garden is my refuge and my happy place. I love to get my hands dirty, pottering about, pulling weeds, trimming and pruning. And I do go a bit crazy with colour - none of your minimalist green garden for me! Roses and other cut flowers are a bonus. These “Double delight” roses are one of my all time favourites.

Greestone Place is very small, quiet road that the Vicars Court is on, at Lincoln Cathedral. No through traffic, it is a cul-de-sac.

The only way to take a photo of the complete market place at Besigheim is a panorama. This panorama consists of 5 photos stitched together in Lightroom. The building in the middle is the townhall and probably the most famous building of Besigheim. The fountain is interesting too as it dates back to the early 16th century. It was decorated when I took this photo as it was Easter weekend.
With the MacDonald Monument in the foreground. The statue of Sir John A MacDonald was torn down by protesters in 2020 and relocated by the City of Montreal. The Mary Queen of the World Cathedral can be seen on the left of the image.
This "quiet place" is not so close to home, but I include it because it provided some well needed peace and quiet at just the right time.
I was hoping to catch some sunset shots from a bridge overlooking the Virgin River in Zion National Park. When I got there, the bridge was already crowded with what must have been 50 photographers, all of them jockeying for position with their tripods as they awaited the sunset. This was way too crazy for me, so I found a trail and followed it. After a mile or so I came to this quiet little spot where a small creek flowed toward the Virgin River. I didn't dangle my feet, but I did enjoy the quiet of a beautiful Zion Canyon evening.
