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!

Embrace simplicity,
Reduce selfishness,
Have few desires.

Simplicity means things which look very ordinary for first time, makes us feels very special when looked at it again !
This week Texture Tuesday we were to use one layer of Kim Klassen's texture called "Simplicity". I used two layers on this each at a lowed opacity and masked some off the flower especially the center.
During the Spring and early Summer, fog usually comes in from the ocean in the late afternoon/early evening along the Southern California coast, which makes seeing sunsets somewhat of a rarity at this time of year. On this occasion, however, there was an ocean-ward flow of air and I raced from my home to Santa Monica (just a few km away) in hopes of catching a multi-hued, technicolor sunset. I must admit I was a little disappointed at first by the subtlety of the colours I saw in the sky, until a brief moment just as the sun dipped behind the hills above Malibu; the entire horizon was painted in pastel, from salmon-pink to the faintest aqua. I was reminded that sometimes the greatest beauty is found in simplicity. Photographed in Santa Monica, California.

One of the things I had constantly in my mind while in Antarctica was that although the place is very different from the rest of the world there are also a lot of commonalities. Take the deserts from this part of the world as an example. When you take a close-up image of the desert you’ll usually find some very simple leading lines and this was very similar in Antarctica with lines created by the sky, the snow and the shadows.
Taking this sort of simple, less is more type of shot is not always as easy as it looks. The simpler the image the more obvious will any mistakes be. The composition needs to be really balanced for an image like this to work and I’m finding these type of photographs really useful in helping me with my commercial work and in particular with my interior photography. This is because interior photographs usually need to be really airy and bright with as little clutter as possible, which is why it’s so important to make sure your composition leads the eyes through the image, inviting the viewer into the space you are photographing.

I like the soft glow this little bolt creates through the rain. Just a simple one to contrast the last upload.

Thoughts?
“In the West we have a tendency to be profit-oriented, where everything is measured according to the results and we get caught up in being more and more active to generate results. In the East -- especially in India -- I find that people are more content to just be, to just sit around under a banyan tree for half a day chatting to each other. We Westerners would probably call that wasting time. But there is value to it. Being with someone, listening wihtout a clock and without anticipation of results, teaches us about love. The success of love is in the loving -- it is not in the result of loving. ”
Mother Teresa.
