Found this beautiful reflection on the shore of the lake at Western Springs as I was heading back towards the zoo. I waited for the people walking along the path to be in just the right spot before clicking the button.
I commented before that I haven't been as active lately because it's the school holidays and the girls are keeping me busy. However, I think it's also because I've reached that point again where I want every photo I post to be better in some way than the last, so I slow down as I wait for the ideas to hit me.
I ran into this problem with the random album covers I used to do. They started off pretty simple, but then they started getting more and more creative ... or at least more and more complex and I started struggling to come up with ways for the next one to top the one that I'd done before. I didn't want to just do something simple and/or minimalist, not just because I already knew I could but also because they just looked a bit boring in comparison and weren't going to be something that would stretch me creatively. So I gave up doing them.
Now, please don't think that I've stopped taking photos altogether! I'm still snapping away. It's just that many of the more creative and/or complex ideas I've got floating around in my head aren't working out the way I'd like them to in practice, so I've got to rethink them and try again.
In the meantime, I will try to keep posting snapshots of the kids and the city and whatever else takes my fancy, even if they are "just" snapshots and thus aren't all that artistic. I'm not going to let myself give up again just because the going's got a little rough! The show must go on and all that, right?
EDIT: I think what I'm trying to say is that snapshots seem quite boring in comparison to the more artistic photos I've done, so part of me doesn't want to do snapshots anymore. For instance, one of my few remaining scavenger hunt challenges is "a dog & a bicycle". Now, I could just go out and find someone walking their dog and someone riding their bicycle and take a candid snapshot of them, but that would be boring and, if you'll forgive the pun, rather pedestrian. If I'm going to take a picture of a dog and a bicycle, then by golly it's going to be an artistic picture! So in the meantime, I've got to wait until inspiration strikes ...
Reflections taken in a puddle during a visit to Reddisher Woods, Ramsbottom. This was one of the first taken with my Sony F828 and where I purposely focussed on the reflection to get the blurring of the surrounding stones...makes a change doing this 'purposely'!!

Reflections....the architecture of Jean Nouvel and Frank Gehry.
"Vision Machine"....this is the term Jean Nouvel used to describe his building on 11th Ave. in Chelsea. Here you see it reflected within the glass facade of Frank Gehry's neighboring IAC Building.

In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.

Walking through the Partal Gardens at the Alhambra I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this gorgeous reflection in one 0f the ponds.
Picture taken just before a tornado. Yes, for real! Check out the picture of it on Instagram :

Reflection of the portrait of Charles XII of Sweden (1715) produced in the studio of French court painter Hyacinthe Rigaud (1639-1743) on the photograph "Michel" (2006) by Pierre Gonnord (1951). From the exhibition BAROCKT in Stockholm (5 April - 19 October).
Enjoyed the first warm day with Julia, a good friend :)) We went to McDonald's & then we walked back maybe 3km though the sunshine ♥
I love it so much that spring is coming :)
I took these yesterday, after I cleaned our laneway.
(Our laneway is the main spot in Melbourne CBD for injecting heroin. We try to keep it clean so that it's safer for everyone. It's called harm minimisation.)
