Day 24 of 365
I took this photograph couple of days ago while we were heading to library with Aura. In my mind this picture compares very closely to Day 19. Not only is it taken almost from the same spot, but the light is a bit similar and again the whole picture is based on a very well known visual motif of silhouette figure. I hope the guy is at least someone else this time! When I took that earlier picture, I wrote about feeling mixed about it because pictures which are too much based on known visual motifs become clichés easily. Looking it now, I feel I need to lighten my stance and focus it a bit.
I don't want to be against visual motifs. If you look at the history of photography, it quickly becomes clear that it isn't reasonable stance to take. As a matter of fact, many classic photographs can be considered, if not only to be based on visual motifs, but also something which have created them in the first place. Like someone who commented my earlier picture said, there are only a finite number of different visual motifs, maybe just a few hundred. And being 'language of photography' they can be put to use in different ways, which means that the motifs don't control photography as much as one would think. So, yes I'm lightening my stance here, but here comes the focus part. I think that if photography is solely based on repeating these visual motifs, it is reduced, I think, to be repeated for didactic purposes. To me, some genres of photography are close to this, but I can understand there are different approaches to this. In my mind I would like to think that good photography also needs a context, a story or some other 'interpretative dimension' to make them something more than just 'pictures of the world'. I know it's a challenging claim to make, but it is also very much something that I need to learn myself too.

haha. We totally look like we're in a visual kei band. I'm the lead guitarist and Severine is the dark, tortured singer.
Visual Magick made these adorable inflatable shark mods!!!! Look at that face! Those hand holds! I want to float away somewhere when I wear this mod! There is even a walker included with squeeky sounds! Comical! Rubber! Adorable! Check-ch-check-check-check-ch-check it out! What-wha-what-what-what’s it all about?!

I’m deliriously tired so that might have been a strange review lol.
30 Days of Perception - Day 6
"Movement through gesture is a form of communication.
All phenomena are animate and expressive."
Kim Manley-Ort
As we express ourselves through gesture, movement and body language, so do all living things, including plants.
I cut a small branch of ivy to put in a vase to illustrate how the graceful movements suggest body language. I notice how the tiny new branches take directions of their own away from the main stem and how each leaf has its own personal expression. When I observe the movement of the branch, I enter into communication with the way it expresses itself. It's as if I can feel a movement and sway.
Wintering VI

-7ËšC is not that cold but it is cold enough.
A day for staying home, drinking tea and drawing.
I live and work in a city. All of my pictures are city scapes of sorts. I am not one of those outdoor types, drifting from glacier to forest. I drift from muesum to a cafe, often by bus when it is really cold or by dutch city bike in the warmer months.
When I do venture outdoors in the winter, oh my, it is so worth it. I love the purple cast of the street lights on the low clouds. Moments before this cloud cast was blue.
15.55 on a very cold afternoon in January. My batteries are blinking and my hands are cold, "Just one more picture" then a coffee and a slice of cake in the Orangery Cafe.
Thank you Berlin
Here's a visual I've drawn up ..... A comparison of two very popular camera sensors in a real world scenario with actual data.
The Kodak KAF8300 (in such camera's as the QSI683, Moravian G2-8300 and Atik 383L)
The Sony ICX814 (QSI690, Atik 490, Atik One 9.0 and SX Trius-814)
I hope that you find this a useful size comparison if you are torn between the two or are unclear as to the effect of sensor size on a target.
Just for your interest... these two images were taken at 330mm focal length.
Jökulsárlón is a visual dream if you like landscapes or even if you don't....:) The sunset was extremely spectacular that evening and although the wind was too fierce for cool sunset reflection shots, it was still a real nice photographic moment...

I'd like to share this panorama today to try and have a small break from some haunting images of Syrian refugees that I cannot get out of my head. The sunrise in this little village of Jamnik, Slovenia was mesmeraising and I hope it can provide a little rest to your thoughts.
Hoy me gustaria compartir este panorama para darle un breve descanso a mi mente que no deja de traerme imágenes desgarradoras de los refugiados sirios. El amanecer en la pequeña aldea de Jamnik, Eslovenia, fue cautivador y espero que os pueda dar un pequeño respiro visual y emocional.

Presentation is what it's all about sometimes, and Millennium Gold was the perfect subject to pull this off.
As I told you before and in the last post , I do everyday one little illustration . Here you can see the starlings I saw today in front of my window, some flowers and that yellow girl is my vision of Amanda Gorman, the United States' first-ever youth poet laureate. She recited a powerful poem at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Here are some of her words.:
"When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid,
the new dawn blooms as we free it.
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it.
If only we're brave enough to be it."
I love that message of hope.
thank you www.flickr.com/photos/colorfulexpressions/ for making me pay attention to this moment.
from the visual journal that I've been working on, started on '09 and now continued. Most of the images in the 2022 section come from a French children's book on zoology, "Pour les tout Petits,Lectures sur les Animaux."

I had been 'playing' with this concept for a while in my head. I called it (instead of the Silence of the Lambs) the Silence of the Bird. When I had the final result, it came to me immediately: VISUAL SILENCE.
I don't often 'dive' into the digital 'magical' darkroom that photoshop can be, but for certain projects it is a great creative tool!
Here, in the case of visual silence, what is being absorbed is not sound but gaze.
If silence is the absence of noise, then this visual silence is defined as the gradual absence, the vanishing, of what surrounds it, where we burrow from the visible surface to the invisible core.
Our focus on the image involves a diminution of the optic field:
in this sense, visual silence is like a poem, its power arising from its sheer vulnerability.
The image cannot be penetrated even by the most powerful of gazes because it is already open, in full view... and yet the transparency of the image, one that does not attempt to hide anything, is still capable of mystery.
Visual silence arrests us because it is the interface between two realms of partial knowledge: between he who does not know he is being watched and those who do not know what they are watching.
Some images leave us speechless, we watch them in silent awe.
Ultimately the camera is merely an extension of the human eye, it only sees and cannot wholly know what it is seeing.
Each time I think... that's it, there's only so much you can do with flowers... and yet again and again, I'll see something new.
Being creative is not a choice... it is an urge in me.
May PEACE be with you and thanx for everything, M, (*_*)
