"No PERFECT CAMERA? No PERFECT GEAR?....do not let materialism kill your creativity. Show the whole world your creativity through your photos and let us change the way others see things."
~ Erich Fromm
I decided to make a new series out of my yesterdays idea. The title "On the table" is inspired by a song by A.C. Newman which I really like.
EDIT:
wow, 1 view - 1 comment - 1 fave, 2 views - 2 comments - 2 faves :)
.... at least as long as you don't touch her. Try to rub her belly and the teddy bear will turn into the feline version of an erupting volcano. :)
Cleo was lying on the table when I took this photo. The fact that she is able to climb onto the table again shows that her paw seems to be better at the moment and I have started to reduce the Metacam.
Yes, it's true. I own 4 eight balls, and two, two piece cue sticks, but don't play. There are more balls, both billiard, and snooker, but, like I said, I don't play. lol Props, props everywhere. As my Flickr friend Torrie might say, "I never met a prop I didn't love...and buy". Also, I believe that this may just be the first time I used my new lightbox which I bought a few years ago. Finally found a place I can leave it up for a while.
Today I visited my parents and I picked some sprigs of Chaenomeles speciosa (Flowering Quince) with red/pink blossoms.
While I was bringing them back home, sadly some buds and flowers fell off.
So I gathered them and arranged them on the table.
Have a nice weekend, everyone, with flowerly love. :-)

We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.
- M R Abrahams

The blueberries from my garden.
This year's blueberries are bigger than last year's.
I sopposed that it had more berries on the tree but I can't find a twig with bunch of berries. Where they would be? Someone (some birds? insects? or what? ) tasted them before me?
Anyway congrats on these lovery harvests!
The "All American Songbook" was my dad's, and it was my first introduction to many early American songs. It was copyrighted in 1942, and sold for a whopping 25 cents. The songbook, "The Sovereign" was copyrighted in 1897 (it's actually a hardcover) and sold for the outlandish price of 75 cents. I bought it for a dollar at a local antique store's sidewalk sale a couple summers ago. The harmonica, or, mouth organ, is a fairly run of the mill Hohner, Marine Band 1896. (That's not the year, just an identifier.) Bought at another local antique shoppe. Both my dad and my grandfather played the mouth organ. I may give it a try, too, but, I think I'll buy a new one for that. lol

Exquisite beauty is often found in the least ornate simplicity.

I used to get so excited as a kid to get a new set of coloured pencils (or pencil crayons as some people call them), but then I would just end up frustrated and disappointed when the colours never looked right on paper, and the points were constantly breaking, because, in an effort to get the dark colours I wanted, I pushed too hard. I had issues as a child. lol
I guess that's what happens when you leave food out

I paid a student 20 or 25 bucks to copy some of my poems into this leather-bound notebook. She included some art work as well. I know I have visited this theme before, but, it's one of my favourites. lol And, yeah, that's a bonafide pith helmet. This is supposed to be a scene inside an expedition tent in the 1800s. I'm really getting my money's worth outta this gingham tablecloth I bought on Amazon. lol Oh, and the spectacles were my Pappy's (great-grandfather born in 1877). Or, his dad, who was born in 1822. My Grandmother wasn't sure. Yeah, those dates are accurate. My great-great-grandfather was still siring children in his 50s. lol He was an American Civil War vet. 210th Pennsylvania Volunteer's, Co.

The "crate" in question here, and some other, yet to be posted photos, is made by a local craftsman from wood recycled from tobacco drying kilns. Tobacco was for many decades, a major cash crop here in SW Ontario. With government cash incentives to switch to food oriented crops, many farmers have abandoned tobacco for those other crops. This has made for a cheap source of rough wood that is easily worked, and repurposed into something less toxic, and more aesthetic. I bought the crate at the local Home Hardware, and began my search for objects to attractivize it. I tried to stick to a more rustic/primitive feel, in keeping with the crate. I forget what preset I used in Lightroom Classic.
Ok, a bit of explanation here. We now live in New Brunswick, Canada, after living in St. Thomas, Ontario for almost 40 years. My wife grew up on the Niagara Peninsula where her family had various ties to the fruit industry there. Winona, Ontario used to be like the peach capital of the country, but sadly, most of the peach orchards are now gone, replaced with urban sprawl from Hamilton. The basket, I found in an antique/consignment store in St. John, New Brunswick last week. A little bit of my wife's childhood, 60 years on. The apples are not from Ontario, but from the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, our neighbouring province. The chair/table is one of those Adirondack or Muskoka style chairs with a connecting table betwixt. So, this is a kind of fusionary shot.
I felt that this tabletop, shuttlecock shot looked a tad bit ominous. I think that virtually anything, and everything can take on an aura of malevolence given the right setting, and appropriate lighting.
