WAITING

 

Waiting in the car I couldn't resist looking for some good interesting subjects. Just carrying my phone is always handy if you want to take pictures. Simply looking around you to see interesting subject matter is what I really enjoy. Simply going for a walk or like in this image discovering a visual contact with your subject matter around you. 

BARBERSHOP

Last month a new barbershop opened across the street. Quite handy and I walked over to get a haircut. Of course on Saturday morning I had wait. So I looked around if I could some pictures. The floor had a black and white pattern which looked like a small stream. Reflections added a realistic view of rocks. I was quite happy with this simple image with a different visual view. Lately I start using my phone more for taking pictures. It is more unobtrusive than pulling out a camera.

ST.JAMES GATE PUB, CARLETON PLACE

It has been quite some time since posting on my blog again. So my apologies after promising to post regularly. I guess I simply have some creative blog after moving to Kanata. Lately however I start to take more pictures. On Thursday we took a trip to Carleton Place, went for lunch and I took some pictures in the pub and a few downtown. I particularly liked this image. Nothing spectacular but it just attracted my interest. I will try to post more regularly.

SHADOW RAVEN

 A few weeks ago I bought a small book on the work of the French fashion model and photographer Sarah Moon. I was familiar with her fashion photos but not with her very personal work. However ,come to think of it, I do have a children's book Little Red Riding Hood. After searching our children’s book I rediscovered it and thoroughly enjoyed it. No the photo illustrations are not what you would expect. It is a rather scary interpretation of this traditional fairytale. Looking at her personal portfolio, it is most of it in black and white, which I enjoy. In my image  I did not copy her work but still try to bring a very personal interpretation of a simple subject.

RAIN AGAIN

 Lots of rain here in Kanata. A good day to work on my pictures and even take a few pictures, which I did this afternoon. I liked this picture with rich rain patterns on the window and the dark day creating a mood, which I certainly enjoy. Time to sit down reading a good book while listening to some favourite music.
