..... BECAUSE THERE IS NO BEAUTY WITHOUT SIMPLICITY,
AND SIMPLICITY IS BEAUTY...
THE SMALLEST THING BECOMES THE GREATEST BEAUTY
SEEN WITH THE EYES OF SIMPLICITY.....
THIS IS LOVE FOR BEAUTY....

Semplicità.
Questa parola mi ha messo in difficoltà.
Io nascondo la semplicità dietro tanto nero.
Ho deciso di immortalare le mie mani senza colore, senza smalto ne anelli.
Due mani semplici, l'emblema della ricerca.
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Simplicity.
This word gives me troubles.
I hide simplicity behind black.
I decided to immortalize my hands without colours, without nail polish or rings.
Two simple hands, research' symbol.
My 52weeks project with IGP.
Please respect my work.

A friend very kindly invited me to go south of the city today to a place called Frank Lake. The weather was overcast for a good part of the morning but the sun did finally come through just before we returned home. We saw a great variety of birds, which was a real treat. Most were far away in the distance, but I have been able to bring them a little closer with cropping. I just liked the patterns made by the reeds in the Lake and their reflections.
We were sitting having dinner on Thursday evening when I suddenly noticed this Graham Thomas rose in our garden illuminated by the early twilight sun and the purple bush behind it in our neighbour's garden.
Quick grab of camera and macro lens and - snap - a simple shot.

Heading north on California’s Highway 395 in the eastern Sierra just past the southern turnoff to the June Lake Loop there is a section of landscape that always draws my attention. I have stopped many times, allowing my mind and eyes the freedom to investigate this unusual attraction. I rarely make photographs here. This stop usually manifests into an opportunity to simply stretch my legs, make room for more coffee and the opportunity to refill my mug.
Subconsciously, I know there are many photographs to be discovered and created here. But I rarely can decipher the clues.
On this recent stop something was different. Maybe it was the soft diffused light. Maybe it was the sensual perfume of the approaching rain. Maybe it was just the overall relaxing feeling of this moment in time. Or maybe it was a combination of the previous and or other influencers that lingered unnoticed. Leaning back against the driver’s side door sipping strong black coffee I once again found myself studying the complexity of this familiar landscape. Then without warning, I discovered this rather simplistic composition. It had been there all along. Many years. Countless stops. Waiting to be discovered.
Ceremoniously I set up my tripod and carefully attached my camera. It took a few attempts to work out my desired composition and exposure. I made this photograph as a light refreshing rain began to fall.

On our way to Big Hill Springs we stumbled across this field. At first there was a shadow cast directly on the house and flowers in the distance. However by the time we got out of the car and got the camera ready the light was gone. I took some of this scene with my F100 as well. We shal see later how those turn out!

No beach around, no fancy places, time stopped on this warm South-West countryside. Sweet farmhouse, cool garden with fruit trees and insects flying around (Damn! I don't have any macro lens-).
Main activities: BBQ in family, reading, playing with water, pick up the fruits of the garden and make jam...A joyful summer simplicity-)
Have a great W-E!

How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn’t care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity
Emily Dickinson

Thanks to everyone who took the time to view, comment, and fave my photo. It’s really appreciated. 😊
This piece of ice rock disappeared into the ocean after a few minutes on shore. It is a reminiscent of life. Our time here is just a short stopover and then we move on.

In the first hours of the morning, the still waters of the lake reflect the environment. Great place.

I originally planned to shoot something completely different for my upload this week. It was going to be a rather complex conceptual image with various elements participating within it. For the creation of it I required a cold, frosty, typical winters day but the weather where I live never bows down to your wishes and so instead of frost and fog, I got sunshine and blue skies. Thus, I had to quickly think of something else to shoot. I debated what to do for a while until I stumbled upon this beautiful collection of ivy. The green of the leaves seemed so inviting and I became transfixed with them. I gathered my pure essentials and I simply laid down in the evergreen with its leaves curling around me, enveloping me in their embrace and I looked to my camera, pressed one button and my image was created. I captured three elements in this image; the ivy, the flowers and me. Three simple elements which created an entire image.
What I realised as I shot this image was that many a times within our lives we over dress things. We take something simple and we make it into something complex, we decorate it until it is hardly even recognizable, even to ourselves. We over think certain things, things which require no thinking at all. We take far too much time stressing about things that may or may not happen and as a result we lose vital time in which we could purely be enjoying the moment. I had an intricate idea which I had thought about for days and yet something out of my control prevented me from creating it. Instead, I adopted a new concept on the spot. I let the idea grow there and then as I was shooting. I guess what I realised during that moment was that sometimes we can’t plan everything. Sometimes we have to let life take us where it wants us to go. Sometimes, the simple things are the most important.
