seeing between the lines


This shot is for Garry. I found this at Coletti's today for, get this, 2 bucks. Can ya believe it? Oh yeah and it says Made in Czechoslovakia on the side. A true gem of a collector's item. Now if only it can help the Leafs get into the playoffs.


I have been experimenting with the manual focus on the camera. I wasn't happy with some of the focal choices the camera was automatically making. I had avoided this feature because it looked complicated. It's not. It works great.


This is a perfect example of where it works well. The camera cannot get this flower in focus with it's automatic feature, even if I move the frame around. However with the manual focus I was able to go right inside and focus there. Very important when photographing the Crocus (Crocus).


Like found poems that come from newspaper articles or other written media, this way of displaying the scenic landscape takes shape on the back of a truck.


Again a vehicle provides the canvas for the expression of lines twisted by design and light.


Prevented access by the continual duress of trying to navigate the lines confusing direction and perspective and formed for a reason.


From an elevated vantage point a street becomes a background of lines and shapes to place within a frame to make sense of the incongruity.


Patterned by the continual addition of rain the plugged sewer drain creates slick textured shapes that flow to escape.

Cool.

The Crocus shot is kill.

And I really dig what you do with reflections. Of course, so far at least, the most awesome of wich is the one of your daughter reflected in the puddle. That picture would be great cover to something, especially something pertaining to the tribes, my people, that once roamed this land. At least that what it reminds me of. But, regardless, it would be a great cover for any book.

Be well, brother.
