I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of my usual perch trying to get some dramatic shots. It was uncomfortable and I stayed just a few minutes.

It's too much, isn't it?
It blocks our breath.
(highly amazed by the Sonnar Lens. More great resolution pics to come. :) )
Communicating through images today is fast & easy — with your smart phone you can tell the world where you are, what you’re doing & what you’re eating with just a few button presses. But has that cost us something?
Does the sheer amount of mundane images we see make good photos matter less?

Ever have love / hate feelings about your photography? Of course you do, you're an artist! I had been working on this image, in color, and to be honest it was really pretty, almost too pretty that it bothered me. It was actually so pretty that it was boring; a safe image of a lotus with green lily pads off the right. So I turned it black and white, and fiddled with it a bit, and yet still had this love / hate thing going on. So then I did the equivalent of vandalizing it . . . pixel vandalism! Now, that's better.
Each of these, in its own way is like a visual haiku to me.

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core.
Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability.
The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)

Cada placa de esta pared lleva un número diminuto pintado en un cÃrculo blanco, como si fuera parte de un juego de mesa gigante. En un extremo de la calle, unas grandes placas hacen las veces de Ãndice: un catálogo que permite buscar el nombre correspondiente a cada pieza. Sin ese Ãndice, la pared es pura anarquÃa visual —una máquina de escribir oxidada, un rostro esculpido en piedra, un cÃrculo con forma de laberinto, una placa amarilla con la palabra "ELVIS!" en letras de cómic, dos figuras de metal que parecen bailar—. Con el Ãndice, cada objeto recupera su nombre y su historia.
Lo interesante es que la pared no distingue jerarquÃas. Un poeta lituano del siglo XIX puede estar junto a un fan declarado de Elvis Presley, una caligrafÃa japonesa junto a un objeto abstracto imposible de descifrar sin ayuda. La lámpara que cuelga del alero ilumina el centro de la composición con un halo casi religioso, como si fuera un altar dedicado a la letra impresa. Ese contraste entre el orden numerado del catálogo y el caos aparente de la pared es, quizás, la mejor metáfora posible de lo que es una biblioteca: un desorden que solo tiene sentido cuando alguien se molesta en clasificarlo.

El Cuerpo. Nuestros cuerpos,
enredados dándole al movimiento,
danzantes, danzan en caricias y besos, enredados el uno contra el otro.
Mientras nuestras lenguas hablando, hablantes, hablan el mismo lenguaje.
Para después entre besos besarse, gozarse.
Mezclando nuestras salivas y entre besos ellas dos gozando, gozan.
El Cuerpo, el cuerpo se agita,
se convulsiona va adoptando la forma amorosa de la pasión acelerada hasta
que llega la sudoración corporal y la paz invade los cuerpos, al final del alma.

I'm entering this in a call for visual journals by the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library to be put in a time capsule for 50 years (!). I've decided the theme will be birds, with the Emily Dickinson quote in mind, "I hope you love birds too. It's economical. It saves going to heaven."

Happy Saturday...the temps are below 70 here in south florida. The start of our dry season and cooler weather and soon there will be more birds so I can get more out into the field.
But I admit that I've had a lot of fun with these flower pics taken in my home studio. It's kept me creative during the slow birding periods.
This was taken a few months ago and I gave it a bath in Lucisart, and Autofx tints and edges.
With dryer weather and water levels, that should also mean wading bird feeding frenzy so hopefully I'll make it out to the wetlands manana.
See y'all out in the field.
