Day 98 – Shapes, Shadow and Light

Just playing around with the olive oil bottle.

I like how Maya’s shape is echoed by the edge of the sofa.

Day 72 – The Circle of Squares

I had to go to Renown Medical Center today for a routine echocardiogram. Aside from having Dr. Phil inflicted on me in the waiting room, the visit was uneventful. Afterward I walked to Fianna’s Healing Garden with camera in hand to see what might strike my fancy. The garden is dry and brown for the most part. Spring has not yet come. The garden has a small pond and waterfall (not running right now), and a variety of plants, trees and herbs, as well as a small meditation labyrinth. It also has three sculptures in the garden. The most intriguing one (to me) is the Circle of Squares by Cork Marcheschi. It looks like a sphere, but as you walk around it its shape changes and internal spaces shift.

One angle . . .

And another . . .

One more . . .

And finally . . .

Day 60 – Experiment

I was experimenting with movement today. I kind of like this. I think I’ll keep playing with it.

And in case those don’t strike your fancy: Ducks! Shot at 5pm, in low light. I’ll keep working on this too.

Day 44 – Stick a fork in me

I hit the ground running today and never had a chance to come up for air, let alone break away to snap any photos. Tonight I improvised with my mini-light studio and a dinner fork.

Day 10

My first attempt at photographing my work place’s pedestrian security gate. It’s got all kinds of curves and heavy-duty plexiglass. I processed this one in black and white because I didn’t want anything to distract from the curves and lines. Likely I will return to this subject again.
