DAILY POST PHOTO CHALLENGE

“Connecting people” the artist formerly known as Nokia

Connected

“This week, show us how two (or more) things — people, objects, places — come together.”

Separated by four thousand kilometres
Different countries, cultures and philosophers
But wherever there is a need for commerce
People are surely coming together in a market place

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – THE SIGN

Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 9

“If you were waiting for a sign, this is it”

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – THE SIGN

Whether looking for a wine tasting
Or a payphone to call back home
You may find something amazing
When you are on the roam
Follow all the signs
They will lead you to a price
But you may be surprised
When the credit card bill arrives

Photo Rehab The Clinic: Week 36 Wrap up

The Photo Rehab is a great community to share photos, learn new techniques, discover new talents, and connect.

In December 2014, after completing the Photo101 course, I opened the Photo Rehab Event in this blog, a ‘healing clinic’, for all of us who love photography (hobbyists, amateurs, pro-shooters and enthusiasts) who missed the course and daily interaction with other photobloggers.

Check out all the magnificent photographs for this week:

Trains, Planes, Automobiles and a Bicycle

On the open road
With a heavy load
A location in mind
Trying to unwind
Travelling on wheels
Has its appeals
But getting somewhere far
In only a car
Can be a chore
Changing the score
Picking up some wings
Has its wins
But if you want some style
And sail up the Nile
A boat or a yacht
Is worth getting stuck
If you want to do it old style
And travel with a big smile
The coolest way
With the hips in sway
Doing some recycling
Then, pedal a bicycle

SL-WEEK 9: School

Photography and Poetry

Challenge by SYLVAIN LANDRY

 

“Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school”Albert Einstein

SL-WEEK 9: School

On our way to school
Like any good kid should

But

Hope nobody noticed
We went into hiding instead

Today we are playing hookey
Eating all the cookies

While everyone else is away

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – DIVERGENT

Photography and Poetry, Photo Challenge, Camera Lucida, Week 8

 

“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it” Veronica Roth, Divergent

‘CAMERA LUCIDA’ – DIVERGENT

First I was broken
Unable to walk, run or dance
Putting on high heels
Next to impossible

Now it feels
More and more possible
For a second chance
And the world wide open

broken

Last Days of Summer

Photography and Poetry

Posted in response to The Clinic-Photo Rehab hosted by Lucile De Godoy

 

“August, the summer’s last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor” Henry Rollins

Last Days of Summer

The end of August
Time to adjust
To the coming of Fall
No use trying to stall
The cold and rain
Will soon gain
The sun rays are few
Feelings of blue
Until the foliage
In multiple colours
Will brighten the days
Get you out of the haze
And life is bright
Once more

SL-WEEK 8 : On the Road

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
