Friday Photos

Okay, the first shot, I fluffed the focusing with the new camera, but I like the saturation.

The second shot I took during my 'Industrial Period' which lasted approximately 5 minutes.

The third shot is of Purfleet, working hard again.

I've always thought of clouds as fluffy or thin. Your fluffy ones are also charged with something else. It's a very nice contrast to your austere industrial photo, whose composition I find incredibly strong.

Purfleet always compliments your images.

Thanks for posting.

I was looking online this week at the work of NZ photographer, Fiona Pardington, whose images I’ve always found extremely compelling. Most of her photography is in the genre of still life, momento mori.

The two links highlighted will give you a sense of her work. I hope you find it inspiring as well.

Here is my attempt at experimenting in an area of photography I’ve rarely explored.

Reminds of of some of the realistic floral still lifes from the 1600 with everything in them. Very nice composition.

Although I am happy to be of the 2000s, I will look for images of still life paintings from 400 years earlier.

@Pricknick I have something like that growing from my left knee. Do you know if it`s edible, since my pet squirrel has taken a liking to it.

The wax lifemask under the painting was commissioned by the painter himself.

The feathers in the woman’s hair are the feathers of the extinct Huia bird. They symbolise leadership and mana.

If you missed the work of Sangeeta Day, that snoopydawg posted last week, check it out here. It’s amazing.

They probably don’t belong in a public museum. It’s partly a reflection on the artist himself, as the ‘creator’. A bit too much artistic license, perhaps? I don’t know enough about Lindauer to know how much was understanding and compassion, or taking advantage of the culture, as Europeans are sometimes apt to do with exotic cultures.

The minute I saw this log. I dragged it home with me I liked it so much. The beach is still full of wood and they are letting people take because how else are they going to get rid of it.

I like the parking lot, the wall and the building in the first post. There is just so very much nothing there. And I like the rhythm and counterpoint (ouch) in this one.

I much appreciate your fine contributions, this evening. Got a long trip to embark on early morning, but wanted to post a photo that I ran across the other day, while searching for photos of 'James,' one of the Westminster BIS (Springers).

A gorgeous girl, IMO. There's a much better photo of her--I'll post it when I've got time to post a blurb with it.

Hey, Everyone have a nice weekend--hope your weather's as good as ours!

I was going to post an image, but the "subject" line kept trying to insert "Rat", & now I`m confused, as if the cosmos knew what I had in mind of posting.

@Knucklehead BTW, The yellow back ground is a Yellow Tang, wondering about my interest in her, while the brown base is an Acropora coral that will eventually grow to be a beautiful Purple specimen. I picked it up as a little stain on a piece of rock in a display tank at my local Fish Store & thought it had promise.
