I was sitting on the sidewalk in front of my usual perch trying to get some dramatic shots. It was uncomfortable and I stayed just a few minutes.

Street art is visual art created in public locations for public visibility. It has been associated with the terms "independent art", "post-graffiti", "neo-graffiti" and guerrilla art.
Street art has evolved from the early forms of defiant graffiti into a more commercial form of art, as one of the main differences now lies with the messaging. Street art is often meant to provoke thought rather than rejection among the general audience through making its purpose more evident than that of graffiti. The issue of permission has also come at the heart of street art, as graffiti is usually done illegally, whereas street art can nowadays be the product of an agreement or even sometimes a commission. However, it remains different from traditional art exposed in public spaces by its explicit use of said space in the conception phase.

It's too much, isn't it?
It blocks our breath.
(highly amazed by the Sonnar Lens. More great resolution pics to come. :) )
Communicating through images today is fast & easy — with your smart phone you can tell the world where you are, what you’re doing & what you’re eating with just a few button presses. But has that cost us something?
Does the sheer amount of mundane images we see make good photos matter less?

Ever have love / hate feelings about your photography? Of course you do, you're an artist! I had been working on this image, in color, and to be honest it was really pretty, almost too pretty that it bothered me. It was actually so pretty that it was boring; a safe image of a lotus with green lily pads off the right. So I turned it black and white, and fiddled with it a bit, and yet still had this love / hate thing going on. So then I did the equivalent of vandalizing it . . . pixel vandalism! Now, that's better.

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, (*_*)

... the dedication series ... drawing inspiration from my flickr contacts.
My dedication series has taken a back seat for the past couple of weeks, However, the KGTOMS project may not have evolved as it has, if I had not been strongly influenced by the following contacts. They say a picture is worth a thousands words ... sometimes pictures are much more as they convey the heart and soul of the artist behind them. When you see such pictures, you sense the intangible essence of that person and are simply drawn to that visual connection.
Heart and soul is dedicated to Keep calm and Take a Photo 242 who's spiritual essence shines in his photos, solarscot, who's images are emotionally compelling with the goodness of light, all my own who through self expression visually composes poetry that is raw in its fragility and strength, and Agent Meister who's work is often introspective but compelling in it's honesty.
Keith, John, Corinne and Alex ... thank you for being such beacons of light while sharing your hearts and souls. Through your work, I am encouraged and inspired to leave a little piece of my heart and soul into what I share here on Flickr.

I'm entering this in a call for visual journals by the Brooklyn Sketchbook Library to be put in a time capsule for 50 years (!). I've decided the theme will be birds, with the Emily Dickinson quote in mind, "I hope you love birds too. It's economical. It saves going to heaven."
