It's Not Complicated


I find that folks tend to assume that artistic decisions are logical and make sense. That it all fits together like a theory of everything in Physics. But sometimes choices are merely practical, like with this image. You see, my camera messed up the white balance of this scene (or perhaps I pressed the wrong button by mistake) and the lovely golden hour light I experienced was neither lovely nor golden in the photograph I captured. I liked the complicated and busy composition, so I went ahead and converted the image to black and white. Simple as that.

Like Quiche, Maybe


I saw an article in the NYTimes about how cottage cheese is having a bit of a moment. Not since the seventies has it been as popular as it is right now. Which I think is a good thing cuz I like a bowl of cottage cheese every now and then. Similarly, I've noticed a lot more potted ferns decorating porches around my neck of the woods lately. Could be the fern bar be on the verge of a rebirth? I hope so, because, you know, quiche.

Floating


It was a magical ladder in a clearing in the woods. Black and white images from modern digital sensors is a whole new world, one well worth exploring.

Tasting notes: Canon digital camera with a 35 mm lens.
