“Contrast is what makes photography interesting” Conrad Hall

Contrast (The Daily Post)

A rose is a rose of course, of course
Giving the ultimate pose
For the sake of the photographic prose

Middle of the Road

Middle-of-the-Road (DAYTWO)

“When I’m in New York, I just want to walk down the street and feel this thing, like I’m in a movie” Ryan Adams

Middle of the Road

Not quite the main street of San Francisco
Certainly not the hippest lane in Seoul
It’s just a quaint itty-bitty place called Espoo
Right in the middle of nowhere
Somewhere
Near the North Pole

Harmony: Winter (The Daily Post)

The Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Harmony

Winter

“Art is a harmony parallel with nature” Paul Cezanne

Winter

Cold, white and monochrome
Nature silent under the snowy dome
But, when the sun paints a triple rainbow
The beauty will bring you to an awe

Summer

In the cooling summer breeze
All the wild flowers will breathe
Until it is time, for the winter’s freeze

Sunrise over Suburbia

Posted in Photography 101: Home (Day One)

Sunrise-over-Suburbia--(DAYONE)

“Home is where the heart is?”

Sunrise over Suburbia

The yellow sunrise above the rooftops
Residents slowly leaving for their jobs
When the last of them away have run
And silence has taken over the fun
Another week in Suburbia has begun

Artwork

A lucky shot in the dark
Turned into a work of art
Something really smart?
Or a gag done by Bart?

Glass

A reflecting vortex
Into a bottomless pit
Image out of context
The obvious
Becoming complex

A Bench to Sit on

I was looking for
A bench to sit on
What I hoped to score
Something close to a lawn
To lay my tired self
On a softer shelf

Then I saw it
The bench, made of stone
When I tried to sit
I felt it to my bones
Too hard for a fit!

Moving forward
I found one, made of wood
Maybe it wasn’t hard
Rather suitably good
Too soft for a fit!

So once again
I had to complain
But I knew, the right seat
Was just in reach
I just had to seek

A little while longer
As I moved along
The feeling now stronger
I knew it wouldn’t be long
I was close to finding
As I saw the metal shining

I finally found it
A bench made of metal
For me to sit
Soft as a petal
A purr-fect fit
