Near Kühlungsborn, Baltic Sea, Germany. - Set up my tent at the beach last Sunday, only a few steps from the sea and this location, and stayed there alone. While this was very comfortable for shooting and brought me a friendly invitation by two gorgeous girls to a beach party at 1 am, the truly relevant experience has been the simplicity there in relation to my everyday life.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication : Leonardo Da Vinci

Life you had, is the life we have
The time you were, is the time we are
Simplicity of life which we are enjoying, is what you lost.
What is simplicity? Well it’s something simple. So what simple thing should I photograph? I first thought of simple things like eggs and water but are eggs simple? There’s the chicken and the egg question for starters, did anyone ever figure out which came first? Then there are the dozens of types of eggs, chicken eggs, quail eggs, organic eggs, even platypus eggs. Nope, eggs are complicated. How about water, it’s clear and looks simple that’s for sure, unless it’s polluted. So what kind of water will I photograph, ocean water, lake water, brackish water, carbonated water, ice water, distilled water, rain water. Water was getting pretty complicated too. So when I can’t make up my mind I usually ask an expert and who is an expert on simple things more than children. I asked one daughter what shall I photograph to show simplicity? And she said what's simplicity? I knew I came to the right person. It means something simple darling. What’s the simplest thing you can think of? Immediately she answered, celery is the simplest thing. Celery! Armed with that information I asked my older and wiser child for her opinion. She said the simplest thing is dirt. Well celery and dirt…hmmm…how boring. The topic is simplicity not boring. So what to do? I realized that the thing that was bogging me down were the details. I was over thinking things which I tend to do a lot. So what if I stripped the details away? The first thing that came to mind when I thought of stripping was a person. And a person stripped of detail is a shadow or silhouette and that’s how I figured out what simplicity is.

Super quick post today of a super quick edit I did one of my waterfall images for a client.
I spent very little time processing this shot – white balance and contrast is about it – and actually really like how natural the scene looks.
Hope you’re having a great day.

I found a stash of old Simplicity sewing patterns in a box of stuff I got from an auction! SO fun to see these things! Mom used to make all our clothes when we were kids. Made me remember the look of the patterns and the smell of a fabric shop!
The simplicity does appeal to me.
I know that there are many images like this on Flickr, but I ask you to contemplate if beauty can ever truly be redundant (or "cliché", as some like to call it)? Would love your thoughts on that question.

Painted ads from an era gone by cling to the aging brick of this building in a small town in Arkansas. The irony of the title follows the abundant patterns and tones throughout this photograph. Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

This was my very first try, I broke the glass into pieces right after this single shot.
So this is the only Version, I corrected the tilt and the white point and black point in Gimp.

Das war mein erster Versuch mit einem neuen Tabletop-Aufbau, keine 2 Minuten später lag das Glas auch schon in Scherben, es existiert keine weitere Version des Bildes.
Ich habe die Schieflage korrigiert und eine Tonwertkorrektur in Gimp vorgenommen.

Nothing is more wonderful that watching a sunset settle over water. Add in the ducks and simplicity and beauty at it's finest!!!

E' curioso a vedere che gli uomini di molto merito hanno sempre le maniere semplici, e che sempre le maniere semplici sono prese per indizio di poco merito.
Giacomo Leopardi.
And 'interesting to see that men have always greatly on the simple ways and simple manners are always taken for evidence of little merit.
Giacomo Leopardi
Our life is frittered away by details...Simplify,simplify,simplify ! ... Simplicity of life and elevation of purpose.
- Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
