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.

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.
