You'd never guess by looking at 'em that this l'il pooch once ate a nine-year-old boy named Nathan.
Ate 'em WHOLE.
If you do you can see the lines going across the trees. I tried like 5 or 6 different shots but I couldn't get the lines to come out any stronger so I went with this one because the columns are bright and really contrast with the background.
A view through the "Squint" in the Crystal Grotto at Painshill, Cobham, Surrey.
It is believed that this view from inside the Crystal Grotto through the opening above one of the pools, then through the opening at the main chamber end of the tunnel and finally through the opening at the beginning of the tunnel, was used to view visitors arriving at the Grotto allowing enough time for one of Charles Hamilton's workers to start the water system running - a neat piece of 18th Century ingenuity.
The people viewed through the hole in this photo are actually not approaching the Grotto, but are on the path on the far side of the lake.
4me4you visits Rosenfeld Porcini which showcased Ruozhe Xue “A Distorted Reality”.
Rosenfeld Porcini Gallery….although Xue is an artist whose paintings are always concerned with the 'human', it is immediately noticeable that none of his
characters are ever looking straight ahead at the viewer. Invariably we view the figures from behind or to the side or almost hidden from view. A man faces a wall, his hands outstretched in front of him as if in punishment, a woman faces another wall as if in shame; faces are partly obstructed by clothing as if the protagonist does not want to be revealed
"I try to put some kind of psychological space into a portrait. The hidden face, squinting eyes and the body viewed sideways, all create an interior tension, thus constructing the transformation through painting which I am trying to achieve..." Ruozhe Xue".
4me4you... there was a sense of reflection, when photographing these artworks from behind the lens. It's seeing things in reverse, well from behind the lens. A different perspective and visually inspiring.
