“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower” Albert Camus
Autumn Time
The daylight is getting shorter
The darkness is getting longer
The skies are turning into gray
But, nature has a funny way
To cheer us up when we are down
Turn our lips into an upside frown
The colours revealed in abundance
Soon will turn the reluctance
Into joy and wonderment
Stop for this moment
And leave us in an awe
POETRY AND PHOTOGRAPHY
Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY
“People say graffiti is ugly, irresponsible and childish… but that’s only if it’s done properly” Banksy, Wall and Piece
SL-WEEK 8 : On the Road
“We here in France we have a habit of putting art everywhere…So this week show us the road art, urban art, art alibi!”
No use crying
Over spilled chalk
All over the side walk
It was worth trying
It may not be art
But, just as smart
Making people smile
As they walk on by

“I’m a bit of a night owl because that’s when I feel the most creative and alive” Christina Aguilera
SL-WEEK 7 : Night
“For this week I chose a theme that I almost never practice : night photography … “
In the dark of the night
Guided by only a few lights
Be that snow or moonlight
No reason for a fright
It’s just the opposite of daylight

“It is often said that taking photographs is managing light… This week I invite you to capture light in its volume, making it dense and palpable”

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it” Edith Wharton
Darkness and Light
Lurking in the shadows
In the darkest of places
A fleck of light emerges
Reaching out proudly
Out to the meadows
Up to the heavens
To the farthest corners
Daylight reaches
Without any breaches
Darkness and Light
Together they walk
Like Day and Night

Photo 101, Day Thirteen: Moment & Motion, Part 2
Our lives are made up of big events and tiny moments. Ultimately, life is fleeting, and oftentimes it’s these small moments, this motion, that we love to document.
Today’s Tip: Movement is a great way to convey time and fleetingness.
