Another week, another photo challenge and this time to find the right picture or pictures to capture the idea of fleeting. I could not look past our wedding pics for this, both because I think they really do capture the idea of a moment caught in time, but also give the idea of this thing will move on and this moment will pass. The commitment will continue and is hopefully strong and steadfast and true, [...]
Another photo challenge and this idea i really like - the thing that is not the thing - or the question of focus - is the thing in the foreground of the picture 'the thing' or are we meant to be keeping an eye on what is in the background? is it "both...and?" So many options and so i had to use three different pics which i feel increase in terms of degree or extent [...]
another great wordpress photo challenge theme and so many different places where i could take this from but i decided this time to rather focus on one area - that of improv and my time with TheatreSports, now called Improguise, in South Africa who i got to spend about 11 years with making stuff up with and really just one of the most amazing opportunities and things to be a part of... like 'Whose Line [...]
Wot another great theme, the great ones being ones open to a range of interpretation... so many pictures, so little space, but had a variety of shots that jumped out at me to use in this post, each bringing their own personal flavour to this Patterned Buffet: Clockwise from the top left we have: # the patterm formed by row upon row of white fluffy cloud hovering over the water and nature scene [...]
i love the themes that are open to great interpretation or variety and 'From Above' is no different... really hard to just stick to one picture and so here is a selection of some images which capture this for me in different ways and contexts: firstly two shots from the Petronas Twin Towers in Malaysia, the first simply giving a sense of the height and the second for me stood out for the uniformity of [...]
another week and another great photo challenge, this one offering a range of interpretation, although i decided to keep it simple... here is a picture of me and the world's most famous stuffed dolphin, No_bob [because he doesn't!] taking in the sights of the Petronas towers in Malaysia... a strong sense of Up happening there... and then these three from my website photo shoot many years ago... which i call 'preparing for take-off' [...]
black and white definitely holds something special and extra for me in terms of being able to convey the depth of thought and seriousness in the picture on the left or the heightened mystery and intrigue of the pose in the picture on the right. the shadows in both add a stronger presence to the pictures. when it comes to injecting colour though: for me the picture on the left, which has not been worked [...]
the theme was a day in the life of me, and to a large extent this is what a regular day looks like: hanging out with my beautiful wife, looking deep and contemplative in many different ways and poses, messing around with technomology, being different in some way, playing some kind of sport, game or improv to the full [sometimes resulting in africa shaped injuries], appreciating bobblehead [or 3D] Hulk, taking time to worship God [...]
this week's challenge is a little more vague than normal which is great cos it allows for a wider scope of creativity and so i came up with these two pics which for me contain the idea of 'Future Tense' first up, the world's most famous stuffed dolphin whose name is No_bob [i was going to call him 'Bob' but he doesn't bob hence the name and the lack of a huge number of entrants [...]
lunchtime can have so many memories attached as food often does - it is seldom just about the food - usually the story or the company or the occasion... so these three stood out for me... firstly the one time it was about the food was this occasion of me sampling what must be the world's biggest donut [which i got to sample when hanging out with my family in Texas two years ago] as [...]
