I’m a photographer of still lifes. There’s not a lot of entries in my archives for this particular challenge. But I did come up with one, titled below: Humanity, before Darwin! Or, climbing the evolutionary ladder.

Weekly Photo Challenge: SILHOUETTE

Posted on August 16, 2014 by

I’m sure there are lots of blogger-photographers who are just tickled by this challenge! Alas, I’m not one of them. So far as I’m concerned, a photo in silhouette (taken by me) is simply a photo badly exposed.  A mistake. … Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge: REFLECTION

Posted on March 21, 2014 by

Weekly Photo Challenge: INFINITE

Posted on October 13, 2013 by

Infinite patterns — going on and on and on, seemingly never-ending. Is this reassuring? I’m not so sure. But it makes for an interesting gallery, I think! (The patterns are photogenic and pleasing, I hope. But for something closer, perhaps, … Continue reading →

Weekly Photo Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways (2)

Posted on August 13, 2013 by

Weekly Photo Challenge: One Shot, Two Ways

Posted on August 10, 2013 by

I recognized right away that I do this — now a horizontal, now a vertical — a lot on a shoot, but I didn’t know quite why. Sure enough, though, responding to the challenge, I see an example of a landscape … Continue reading →
