Most often my method is a simple attention to God combined with a general sense of hunger for God. I find myself often attached to God with the great sweetness and delight of an infant at the mother's breast. I hesitate to use the expression, but the inexpressible sweetness which I taste and experience there is as if I were at the bosom of God at all times. Sometimes my thoughts wander away from God by necessity or infirmity. But soon an inner desire brings me back to God. This inward yearning is so delightful and delicious that I am ashamed to describe it.

"Throughout the ages, it has been the simple buildings that solve a problem that become the representative buildings of their time."

This is the Fort Collins Savings and Loan Building, built in 1970. It is an example of one of Bill Robb’s “simple buildings” in Fort Collins, Colorado. I chose it for the We’re Here! theme today – Black and White Architecture.
It is also fitting topic 5/123, "Angles” for 123 pictures in 2023
I found an article about Bill Robb and learned he was the only architect in town when he set up shop in 1953, and it stayed that way for some years. Fort Collins was an agricultural town and quite conservative. The area never broadly embraced Googie, New Formalist, or Brutalist design, but its offices, residences, and churches reflect some profound local examples of Modern architecture. The key, defining examples of the movement for Fort Collins, largely Contemporary or Usonian in inspiration, in many cases, sprang from the desk of William Robb.

It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.
However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.
Great company on a favorite trail, fresh snowfall, crisp sunny air, and feeling your body warming with effort - these simple pleasures are not ones that we take for granted.
It had been a while and we were lucky enough to have a terrific day for it.

I actually stole this idea from Leif Mannerström, former owner of the best restaurant, "Kometen" in Gothenburg.
You don´t only boil pasta, but you cook all ingredients basically at the same time, in the same pot.
I don´t remember what I put into it, but it includes chives, pesto, sundried tomatoes, olives and some big shrimp.
I do recall that my spouse was praising me for this meal.
She thought it was delicious.
But no recipe, sorry.
After sifting through and editing 600-odd images from Saturday night I'm all photo-ed out today!
For some reason Toby finds the name of this plant hilarious ;)
Just a simple candid street style Snapograph captured at London UK of someone dressed up as Darth Vader.
I've deliberately gone for a higher contrast presentation to this snap because I feel it's better suited to this type of photography and I'm trying to create a more journalistic approach to my street style snaps.
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to put amongst their "FAVES".
"THANK YOU KINDLY" to anyone who finds this shot good enough to leave a "Comment", I'll do my very best to reply to you individually.

Somehow I bypassed this simple, single rose in favour of more colourful blooms but I think that sometimes, less is more.
