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.

RAINY DAY, OTTAWA

It has been a few days since posting a new picture. This image Took on my mobile phone when we went downtown trying to get into a parking garage. Yes this time the picture was quite abstract. The raindrops on the window and the strong colours created a quite good composition of a dark, rainy day atmosphere.
 

MAIN STREET CAFE, STITTSVILLE

 

Friday morning we had to go for some errants in Stittsville. I did not have a camera with me, but of course I did have my phone. So when we went for a quick lunch at the Main Street Cafe I couldn’t resist taking a few pictures. It simply is a habit of me to always take at least some pictures. 

Changing environment is not that easy. We miss our longtime friends and our familiar milieu. Of course the positive aspect of the move is that I now have will find new subjects for my photography, which I am certain will result in a new way of seeing your surrounding environment. So lets see how my pictures will change. 

SPRING REFLECTION

 

Spring has definitely arrived. Yes the last two days were grey and wet days, feeling more like early Fall days. But we had some nice beautiful Spring days. Time to wander around looking for fine photo subjects. This image is more reminiscent of a impressionistic painting. It is a picture without strong subjects but rich in textures and irregular patterns. Your eyes wander first to the iregular pattern of the leaves then you see the strong shape of the the maple tree reflection in the water. 

In the next few days I will explain why I always or nearly always post only one image per day.
