Switched On Sunlight

When you’re stuck in the house after a blizzard, you start seeing neat stuff. I know this is supposed to be one photo per week, but I have some catching up to do, so today it’s three photos per day.

Flowers, shadows, photographer–yep, that’s me.

Sea Grass Shadows

Tags

beach, sand dune, sea grass, shadows

This is catch-up after having missed last week’s post. It’s just a simple shot of sea grasses on a sand dune. The shadows of the grasses add their vertical lines to those of the grasses themselves.

I’m working on material for a juried abstract show. Nonrepresentational enough?

Another Flower Shot

Tags

climatis, flowers, shadows, spring

Knowing this would be a busy week, I loaded up on potential photos last weekend, which included documenting the spring flowers still emerging in our yard.

Too Cold to Eat Outside

Tags

chairs, shadows, shapes

Back to early spring weather last week, these tables and chairs outside a cafe were deserted in favor of their warmer cousins inside. I decided to go black and white to increase the stark mood rather than leave the inviting warm brown bricks as the background. I also want the viewer to focus on the abstract shapes created by the chairs and their shadows in the harsh early afternoon light.
