Somehow our lives are less significant unless we are doing something extraordinary. And so, we lose sight of the beauty that exists in simplicity.

Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.

On a less simple note...I got a new laptop today (replacement for a faulty one) and am bogged down with setting it up - mainly because I haven't managed to connect it to the internet - hey ho! So I am not mentally in a very "flickr" mood right now :-)
Will be around to visit a bit later on.....
Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity

I originally planned to shoot something completely different for my upload this week. It was going to be a rather complex conceptual image with various elements participating within it. For the creation of it I required a cold, frosty, typical winters day but the weather where I live never bows down to your wishes and so instead of frost and fog, I got sunshine and blue skies. Thus, I had to quickly think of something else to shoot. I debated what to do for a while until I stumbled upon this beautiful collection of ivy. The green of the leaves seemed so inviting and I became transfixed with them. I gathered my pure essentials and I simply laid down in the evergreen with its leaves curling around me, enveloping me in their embrace and I looked to my camera, pressed one button and my image was created. I captured three elements in this image; the ivy, the flowers and me. Three simple elements which created an entire image.
What I realised as I shot this image was that many a times within our lives we over dress things. We take something simple and we make it into something complex, we decorate it until it is hardly even recognizable, even to ourselves. We over think certain things, things which require no thinking at all. We take far too much time stressing about things that may or may not happen and as a result we lose vital time in which we could purely be enjoying the moment. I had an intricate idea which I had thought about for days and yet something out of my control prevented me from creating it. Instead, I adopted a new concept on the spot. I let the idea grow there and then as I was shooting. I guess what I realised during that moment was that sometimes we can’t plan everything. Sometimes we have to let life take us where it wants us to go. Sometimes, the simple things are the most important.
"If you will stay close to nature, to its simplicity, to the small things hardly noticeable, those things can unexpectedly become great and immeasurable.” - Rainer Maria Rilke

Near Kühlungsborn, Baltic Sea, Germany. - Set up my tent at the beach last Sunday, only a few steps from the sea and this location, and stayed there alone. While this was very comfortable for shooting and brought me a friendly invitation by two gorgeous girls to a beach party at 1 am, the truly relevant experience has been the simplicity there in relation to my everyday life.

How happy is the little Stone
That rambles in the Road alone,
And doesn’t care about Careers
And Exigencies never fears
Whose Coat of elemental Brown
A passing Universe put on,
And independent as the Sun
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute Decree
In casual simplicity
Emily Dickinson

Nothing is more wonderful that watching a sunset settle over water. Add in the ducks and simplicity and beauty at it's finest!!!

Super quick post today of a super quick edit I did one of my waterfall images for a client.
I spent very little time processing this shot – white balance and contrast is about it – and actually really like how natural the scene looks.
Hope you’re having a great day.
