I'm closing out the year with this, a quick photo from the new art installation on the river (Subtile
- designed by Federico Díaz). It's an odd one with all of these small reflective discs - but it grew on me as I sat there with the wind gently moving the circles. It had a ripple like effect - which was fitting for it being along the river.
This week I jumped back into the fray of the Divine Diptych Project with recent recruit, the Tiger Moth.
Things have been hectic for me lately, with a move halfway across the world, but I was keen to get back into things with the project.
Bee Brady gave tTM and myself the theme 'Reflect', which you would think would be a dead easy theme to work with, but both tTM and myself found ourselves at a bit of a loose end. There were some ideas thrown around, but various constraints worked against those.
In the end, with the forest at her disposal, tTM took a mirror out and produced her wonderful self-portrait above. I love the tones, composition, feel of the image.
I wanted to work more with the 'contemplate' side of the word reflect, whilst still including an image of a reflection. Initially I was concerned that none of the images I was thinking of using would fit with tTM's detailed image, but when I tried this one, taken at the Redland Bay Cemetery in Brisbane, the tones and composition actually seemed to work with her image, for me. I'm still not sure I can explain why!

“Reflecting Loss” combines representational imagery and abstract form to directly addresses the Trust’s desire for a “memorial to Gainesville Police Department officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives in the line of duty”.
The work is driven by the desire to combine a sense of reverence for fallen police officers while acknowledging the bravery, courage and pride of police officers that serve in law enforcement.
The centerpiece of the work is an officer knelt over reflecting on the loss of a fellow officer. The officer is dressed in his ceremonial uniform, the patch of the city of Gainesville is visible on his shoulder. The rifle at his side suggests that he may be a member of the honor guard, a rifleman who has just participated in the twenty-one- gun salute to honor his fallen comrade.
I noticed the house reflected in the van this morning. Parked on the lawn in case of emergency call out.

Sometimes you just have to remove yourself from all the noise and reflect where your life is going before you continue walking.

Flanking the South Lawn at the University of Melbourne, the reflecting pool is just 200mm deep due to weight restrictions (it is directly over the Southern car park). The car park and the South Lawn space form an integrated design: the concrete pillars which support the ceiling of the underground car park are hollow, accommodating the root systems of the trees in this picture.

Been two days trying out to do this. The vibration of the engine however caused some shake after all. I almost sacrificed my 7D because of the crappy tools I was working with, but I guess it was worthwhile after all.
Doing this experiment in day time was not a good option, for many reasons, thus I had to wait until night time and parked the car in some open space in front of some buildings in order to have some lights reflected on the mirror; otherwise there won't be interesting lights to move them into lines as I take the exposure.
I stood on the side of this window, trying to capture some storefront reflections. I waited a little bit to finally get someone passing across the street.
