I've gotten into the habit of bringing along some light painting stuff when I'm out about early or late. In this case I was waiting for something that never happened, I did a few laps up and down and got this one I was happy with.
It's magical in the woods and I couldn't help myself with this edit. Happy Wednesday beautiful people. Who else is looking forward to the weekend? I'm going to be starting an online print shop. Do you have any particular recommendations on where would be best?
"Lure/Wave, Grand Rapids (Lure/Forest)"
ArtPrize 2010, Grand Rapids, Michigan
Beili Liu, Third Place = $50,000
Inspired by the ancient Chinese legend of the red thread "when children are born, invisible red threads connect them to the ones whom they are fated to be with. Over the years of their lives they come closer and eventually find each other, overcoming the distance between, and cultural and social divides. A disk may be connected to another, as a “couple”, and each pair is made from a single thread. Every coil is pierced in the center by a sewing needle."

In the last few weeks I have spent so many days and hours immersed in children's portraits and group shots, candid expose shots of life within a classroom, band rehearsals for the school play, musicians playing, children performing and capturing it all for various different people and reasons, that it was nice to take those two lens' off the camera and pop the macro lens on and take simple, unplanned, shots of some threads left over from sewing lying beside me on the table as images downloaded onto the computer.
For me, today, it's nice to just look at something simple, not worry about exactly how in focus - or out of focus - a shot is and whether I've got the hair just right for that chid, or the essence of caterpillars walking across a stage.
Today simple and stark is just what I need.
Today, unprocessed is what I need. Straight out of camera.

The toughest part of getting this shot was getting the thread between the two sides of the opening in the needle!
Mum brought 80 million serger thread cones for me. She claims to have picked only the colours she won't use out of her stash. Conveniently for me, they're some of my faves.
This is simply a threaded water/sewer pipe that is sticking up in a ditch. I probably should have found a way to clean off the dirt but by the time I could have done that, I would have lost the light that attracted me in the first place.

I've been on the hunt for vintage thread and scored last weekend. I've seen a few images with them and love them! I use to sew quite a bit so it brings back memories of things I've made throughout the years. Hope you enjoy this one!
I got sick of having to look in boxes for my embroidery threads so I decided to re-vamp my postcard wall and have them on permanent display for easy selection.

The night crew for this evening was threshold, rizzolo, skazama and efatzo. We ventured back the site of where the old farmer's market used to stand, but this time we concentrated on the underpasses and nearby rail yard. I toted along the D200, Holga + Nikon FM. Reminded myself why I don't like to carry so many cameras.
You can see a pool here of all the shots on Flickr from the night or a slick slideshow here. It may take a week or so for all the shots to be posted.
