There is a wonderful book by photographer David Lubbers that I highly recommend entitled “Persistence of Vision” in which the artist pairs photographs that he made years apart that show that he is seeing in the same way over time. I find this is true of my photographs as well ... on review ... images that are taken years apart appear to have a strong relationship in composition, light, texture, perspective, etc. even though it is not a conscious effort. I suppose this should not be surprising but it always makes me a little more thoughtful about my photography when I make the observation. The photos below were taken earlier, each about a year apart, and in different parts of the world. Although, in this case, they are all fundamentally abstracts, I can find these same photographic qualities, shapes, tones, and textures framed in some of my landscapes as well.

When the conditions are favorable and allow for a pretty solid chance of capturing a great image you’ll find me out shooting the night sky. I always head out with high hopes knowing that I ......

The King of Fruit

A quiet moment of persistence unfolds on a busy London street.
Amid the flow of pedestrians moving in every direction, a lone figure leans into the weight of his journey, pulling a small suitcase behind him.
The contrast between stillness and movement, burden and routine, captures a fleeting human story hidden in the everyday rhythm of the city.
“In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins. Not through strength, but through persistence.”

I keep updating my gratitude file even when november is over
myhealingmoments.blogspot.com.es/p/focusing-on-gratitude....
I'm glad to be back! I had to take a few weeks off for a bad bought with sciatica. This means no getting out there with my new photography friends and taking pictures or even checking in with you all on Flickr. I've missed you and your gorgeous art but for today, I'm back!
This is a flower in my gazebo garden. Took everything in me to get out there before I missed it all but I did it. Therefore, this one is called Persistence. I hope you like.

Lichen love the volcanic rocks here. The "bushes" in the foreground are mostly Gambel oak.

Study of the day:
"Si une chose veut être photographiée, c'est qu'elle ne veut pas livrer son sens, qu'elle ne veut pas se réfléchir. Elle veut être captée directement, violée sur place, illuminée dans son détail. Si quelque chose veut devenir image, ce n'est pas pour durer, c'est pour mieux disparaître."
If something wants to be photographed, it's because it does not want to deliver its meaning, it does not want to have a reflection about it. It wants to be directly captured, raped on the spot, illuminated in its details. If something wants to become an image, it is not to last, it is to better disappear. "
( Jean Baudrillard - 1998 - Photographies )

Study of the day:
"La synthèse en général, ..., est le simple effet de l'imagination, c'est-à-dire d'une fonction de l'âme, aveugle mais indispensable, sans laquelle nous n'aurions aucune espèce de connaissance, mais dont nous n'avons que très rarement conscience. Mais l'acte qui consiste à ramener cette synthèse à des concepts est une fonction qui appartient à l'entendement, et par laquelle il nous procure la connaissance dans le sens propre de ce mot."
"The synthesis in general, ..., is the simple effect of the imagination, that is to say, a function of the soul, blind but necessary, without which we would have no kind of knowledge, but that we have only very rarely conscious. But the act that consists in bringing this synthesis to concepts is a function that belongs to the understanding, and which gives us knowledge in the proper sense of this word."
( Emmanuel Kant - Critique de la raison pure )

One of the photo I have taken of Mahmoud while he was working, those three photos I have submitted into a photo competition, on of them was selected as a winning photo.
persistence.... the name of the game today. i remind myself to be grateful and to persist, where i might give up.
Sand Tufa, Mono Lake, California
These remarkable formations of calcified sand persist in spite of their very delicate makeup. Tufa all formed underwater and were exposed when the water level was dropped to satisfy the thirsty Los Angeles basin. They are a favorite of photographers -- but these particular examples are often overlooked. It's not easy to tell from this image, but this cluster of tufa are less than 2 feet tall. I'm astonished they persist because they're crumble between your fingers if you touch them. Monochrome reveals the grain of the sand and hilight the clouds above.
Thanks for your visit!
