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

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

Going through a bunch of external hard drives (that's a major frustration) and didn't find what I was looking for. Yes, I really haven't found what I'm looking for. Found this, and a couple others I may post. This is from w-a-a-a-y back. It's saved as a Windows Bitmap. Surprise to me. lol My old hard drives are a big mess.

Two more Deadman's Hand shots (more still to come. Until I get all the elements in the shot that I'm going for, or I too get totally bored by the project.) That's Arizona Ice Tea in the shot glasses-even though nobody asked. lol This is one guess as to the hand that Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot in the back of the head in Deadwood, Dakota Territory on August 2, 1876. The "hand" of course is only a part of the legend that was Wild Bill, real name James Butler Hickok. It's difficult to separate fact from fiction as it is with many of the Old West Americans known to history. I like to think that he was playing this hand (including the queen of hearts), though there is noe definitive reason why I should believe that. lol
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.
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.

Cover Art
I am a Professional Artist. I love using paint and pencils to put ideas on paper. I don't do it with words but with colours. I haven't done a lot of physical art in recent history but hope to get back into it more this year. It's a very satisfying way to express yourself.
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.

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!
My daughter (and helper-me) cooked it for yesterday's lunch.
This is one of her winter vacation homework.
Gratin, Salad (Green salad and potato salad with boiled egg) and bread.
The Flickr Lounge-Pencil
I liked the swirl of the pencils and the acorns on the outside of the container.

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
"Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours"
December : Black [52/52 weeks]
Et voici la toute dernière photo du projet "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colours / 52 weeks" (pour les voir toutes, c'est par ici : flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK) !!! :-)))
52 semaines, 4 photos par mois, une couleur différente à chaque fois...un beau défi à relever et, surtout, de belles découvertes photographiques !
j'ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à participer à ce magnifique projet qui m'a régulièrement poussé à sortir hors de ma zone de confort et qui, je le réalise à présent, m'a également permis d'évoluer en photographie en m'incitant à développer ma créativité, à chercher sans cesse de nouvelles idées et à "penser" différemment mes compositions...sans ce projet, je n'aurais pas forcément "shooté" certaines des images que je vous ai présentées tout au long de l'année. Je pense notamment à la dernière série de photos, sur le thème du noir que j'appréhendais (comment garder mon style poétique, ma touche de magie et maintenir la douceur que j'affectionne avec une couleur si dure) !
Au final, je suis heureuse et -je l'avoue- un peu fière aussi d'avoir suivi ce "52 weeks" de la première à la dernière semaine de l'année.
Je profite de ce message pour m'excuser auprès de ceux qui me suivent, pour mon absence régulière dans vos belles galeries et pour mes non-réponses à vos commentaires sur mes dernières publications. Je vais tâcher d'y remédier prochainement !
En attendant, un grand merci pour toutes vos visites, vos petites étoiles et pour vos sympathiques mots (toujours si encourageants et, sachez-le, très appréciés), tout au long de l'année ❤
Puisse ce Noël être rempli de joie, d'Amour, de sourires et de moments inoubliables à partager avec vos proches!
Meilleurs voeux et de Bonnes Fêtes à tous ! :-)

Here is my last picture of the project "Life is a Rainbow - One year in colors / 52 weeks" !!! :-))) In this album you can see all my photos: flic.kr/s/aHskzVudpK
52 weeks, 4 photos per month, a different color each time...what a beautiful challenge and also some beautiful photographic discoveries !
I had a lot of fun participating in this wonderful project. It allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and to evolve in photography encouraging me to develop my creativity, to constantly look for new ideas and to "think" differently my compositions...without this project, I would not necessarily have "shot" some of the pictures that I presented to you throughout the year. I am thinking in particular of the last series of photos, on the theme of black that I dreaded (how to keep my poetic style, my touch of magic and maintain the softness that I love with such a hard color) !
Finally, I'm happy and -I will admit it- a little bit proud to have followed this "52 weeks" from the first to the last week of the year.
I take this message to apologize to those who follow me, for my regular absence in your beautiful galleries and for my non-response to all your comments on my latest publications. I will try to remediate it soon!
In the meantime, a big thank you for all your visits, your likes and, especially, for your kind words. I really appreciated them all so much ❤
May this special day be filled with lots of happy, love, smiles and unforgettable moments with your loved ones!
Warmest thoughts and Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas to all !
