When it seems like there are fences in life, always live in faith and simplicity.
You will be amazed how much the world becomes a brighter place, for you, and for the others around you.
Enjoy your day.
It was an extremely foggy morning and I had been photographing grasses up close in a field at a park. This tree was on the edge of the parking lot and as I pulled out and was driving I saw this tree from a different perspective, unencumbered by distracting wires, etc.. I was so taken by its beautiful silhouette against the foggy sky that I pulled the car over, composed my shot and waited and hoped that a bird would fly through my frame (as I saw many that morning). I chose to turn it into a black and white so the tree and the branches were really highlighted. Since this was on the edge of a parking lot I filled as much frame with the tree while still including some of the hill and a few of the background trees.
From I am the Diva (http://iamthedivaczt.blogspot.com/2010/12/weekly-challenge-1.html) came our Weekly Challenge to create a Zentangle thinking about the idea of "Simplicity." I decided to create a very simple 'vortex' string, make a feature of nothingness (ultimate simplicity), and forgoing shading. I haven't yet decided if I will go back to it and add shading (which is why I haven't initialled it yet). I also photographed it on my Zentangle kit box - which also represents elegant simplicity to me.
الحياة البسيطة و الرضا كانا من اهم التعاليم في حياة الرسول عليه الصلاة والسلام :
" عندما ترى شخص يملك من المال و الحسن أكثر منك، فانظر لمن لديه الأقل"، وبهذا سوف تشكر الله على عطاياه بدلا من ان تشعر بالحرمان.

Kim's quotation fits so well:
"Organization makes a system of many appear fewer." ~ John Maeda, The Laws of Simplicity
And I might add: Organization makes simple things look unique and precious.
Can't remember when I last arrived at Acle by road so I hadn't noticed this wonderfully simple sign. What a change from some flash in the pan corporate type font on some vinyl. Its beautiful lettering and the early and elegant pictogram a reminder of the signwriter's skills.

It was hard to narrow it down to just a few photos, but I did...check out the photostreams that these photos belong too, they are amazing! I picked all the above photos, not only because they are beautiful and a great ispiration to me, but also most of the photographers of those photos have touched a part of my photographic journey and have been a personal inspiration...
Just to name a few..
1. found through flickr and blogging and wouldn't you know we only live a few hours apart! Can't wait to get together with her and do a photowalk!
5. Justine is always so supportive and kind, not to mention her work is gorgeous
9. Such a sweet strong lady, who's words and photography are truly inspirational
10. Met though blogger and love her style, she's the one who inspired me to sign up for the Simplicity e-course
11. So kind and supportive, met in the blog world then found her here...her use of textures and her vintage subjects inspire me daily!
16. Met while planning my parents 25th wedding anniversary, a friend of my dad...got to talking about photography though emails, went and viewed his photostream which introduced me to flickr, which in turn lead me to signing up and starting my photographic journey!
21. Very nice lady, super supportive and creative! I LOVE her work and covet her often photographed plates!
24. Faith...not only has this class inspired me and gave my creativity the reminder to slow down and contemplate my shots. Your smiling face next to your supportive comments always make me smile! I enjoy your weekly photo challenges which inspire me to get creative and your work is beautiful as well!
I awoke this past Saturday to a bright beautiful world. After the days and days of greyness, it was truly celebratory! Hoar frost covered the entire boreal forest. Because of the contrasting whites, Manitoba's naturally blue sky looked even bluer (that was not Photoshopped). I was so excited that I didn't even finish my coffee. I dressed, grabbed my camera bag and hopped in the little red truck to see what I could see. This is one of a handful of images that I took before the frost melted.

Gosto da simplicidade. Somos injustos ao banalizarmos as ervas silvestres e as plantas sazonais. O homem tem a tendência de dar valor ao exuberante, ao raro e ao suposto conceito de luxo. É claro que tal é relativo!
Muitas das coisas raras que hoje valorizamos, outrora abundavam!
Quem sabe se um dia estas simples ervas que todos detestam não serão plantas de luxo e ornamentos de leito de rico!
Fetos? Credo canhoto! Planta de carraças!
A ver vamos...
O problema é quando estas coisas chegam à fotografia. É muito comum ver os adeptos da fotografia a cair neste erro! Há pessoas que fazem quilómetros de viagens só para fotografar um determinado local. E muitas vezes em vão. Eu sou um desses! Disparar, disparar, disparar que quase parece uma espingarda de caça! Chegamos a casa orgulhosos das nossas 600 fotografias. Toca a correr para o computador! Resultado? Decepção total... Com uns milagres de pós produção pode ser que tenhamos a sorte de desencantar uma fotografia.
E quase sempre se olharmos com olhos de fotografo, temos aquilo que procuramos mesmo ao nosso lado. E na vida é exactamente igual!
Por falar em luxo!?! Acho que estou a precisar de máquina fotográfica nova.
A que eu tenho, está sempre a discutir comigo... Alguma sugestão de uma máquina para mim?
