...well photographers block; struggling for inspiration, playing with DOF on my Macro lens and a pack of pencils to see if anything creative could occur.

For the Crazy Tuesday challenge: "This makes me happy"
I love poetry, and nothing delights me more than to find a poet who is new to me. To settle down on a winter's night and open a new book of poetry!
I have always loved poetry, and have carried a poetry book with me, when possible (sometimes copying poems into small notebooks to fit in my pocket.) I'm old enough to remember the revolution that Penguin books brought - small affordable paperbacks! Bliss!
I'm quite eclectic in my definition of poetry, and include both Haiku and the Tao Te Ching. Anything where words resonate - and "less is more" to the reader.
Here I've taken a very small selection from my large poetry book-shelf, and book-ended them with two American poets who are Nobel laureates. Many writers include poetry in their output - but few make it their central focus.
If the phrase "can't hold a candle to" is unclear I looked it up - it means I'm not in the same league as any of them 😊

Sitting on it, or experiencing it. The view of the quarry may help or hinder inspiration, I suppose.

My friend George Tsougrianis, who directed the award winning documentary film Wild Prairie Man, has expressive hands. In early January, he and writer/artist Madonna Hamel were at my house discussing wide ranging ideas about art and life and future projects. I sat back with my camera and a 105mm lens, snapping away, and they both ignored me, as I have trained them to do. Madonna has expressive hands, too, but the angle of light was better when I pointed the camera at George, and this frame jumped out at me when I began sifting through the images to see which ones, if any, were worth processing.
Full disclosure - although the shot was unposed, I decided to go full-studio mode by digitally removing some lighter areas, especially near the edges and corners. I liked the first version, but the graphics of his hands surrounded by black were too compelling to resist. Sort of the opposite of what I did with the grove of trees in a winter-white environment (posted yesterday). The two should look good side by side on the page, I think.

This was shot with the help of a big tripod, a manfrotto Magic-Arm and a really shacky ladder. Lit by a Profoto D1 in a beautydish, I used f1.4 and 1/250, ISO 64 to keep a little bit of the ambient light. Otherwise the spotlight-effect would be too strong...

The typewriter is a OLYMPIA DIPLOMAT 3 ! You will see more of that "thing" in the future ;-)
On an overcast morning, along the Serengeti's winding trails we see a sight in the distance. With the scent of acacia and a cool breeze blowing across the open plains a lion and his queen rise up to greet us. They settle down in a most inviting pose that almost beckons us to join them. Zebras dance in the distance. For a moment I'm reminded of the lyrics from Hotel California..."you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave." As beautiful as this vista is, I think I'll remain in the car! #iLoveNature #iLoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #Tanzania #Nature in #Africa #Serengit #Lions #DrDADBooks #Canon #WildlifeConservation

I am bundled up in Le La, called Angel Xmas, an exclusive at Swank that comes with a woven sweater, mini shorts, cute earmuffs embroidered with playful reindeer, boots, socks, and a fur coat, making it a perfect balance of cute and cozy -- it’s a look that says holiday spirit. I snuggle into my “love coat” that is part of this look that is so fuzzy, so warm, like a hug made of winter clouds. My thick knit socks and plush fur boots keep me toasty. I feel like I’ve stepped straight into a Nordic holiday dream—the kind of look that turns a winter sleigh ride into a potential love story. It’s festive, flirty, and fabulously seasonal. Angel Christmas made by Le La is exclusive at Swank and is made for LARAX, Reborn, Erika, Kupra, and Legacy. Le La Angel. It also comes with a 24 color-changing HUD for the top, socks, fur boots, and earmuffs, fur jacket, inner jacket, shorts, and boots.
