Taking macro shots throws my imagination into film mode. I feel like I'm suddenly seeing the world from the perspective of a bee or a fly. I had to get down close to this clump of broken branches to see the ground, fallen-desiccated leaves, and mosses. The branches formed a tunnel from my plain eye's … Continue reading Flying Through – A Bee’s Eye View
Sunset Shadows
Behind these small woods is a city dump. It gives off all the stink of the rotting crap dumped into it... It smells very much like sulphur. I happen to be walking here late one afternoon and enjoying the long shadows cast by the setting sun. It was still very early Spring, so the green … Continue reading Sunset Shadows
Greyscale Sunrise At War
It's amazing how strong and vibrant the sunrise gets in the Spring over Montreal. There's always lots of humidity in the air to haze the brightness, but the sun feels like it's burning through it all to touch us with the hope of Spring and the promise of warmth in Summer. If you can imagine … Continue reading Greyscale Sunrise At War
Where Art Lived
I found this in a "to work on" folder. This is how I once had my work displayed in my house. I still use this wall to show off work, but it has become a moving feast. Paintings and other wall-hanging art, as well as ceramics that can fit on the mantlepiece are always coming … Continue reading Where Art Lived
Shadows at Sunset
I don't recall how or when I took this shot. It must have been when I was shadow hunting around the house. It was a very blurry shot, to begin with and the light in the original was at sunrise, not sunset. I usually don't see so much red in the morning sun, but this … Continue reading Shadows at Sunset
Hooray, Spring is here!
I feel compelled to shoot these little beauties every year after the snow melts. They seem to stay hidden under the leaves until every speck of snow has melted under the Spring sun, then they pop up and celebrate the seasonal change. I have yet to be there at the moment when they pop up, … Continue reading Hooray, Spring is here!
Encroaching Darkness
If I were to express this in one word it would be: ominous. That was my first impulse reaction when I was how the shadow was caught on camera. If you start viewing the image from the bottom, you can see beautiful, warm light of subtle, natural tones. The little shadows and dark spots only … Continue reading Encroaching Darkness
Contrast & Wonder
Get in really close and enjoy the light coming off the differently textured surfaces. Some of my shots of this view were in colour and it remained unspectacular to me. It was the high exposure, black & white image that popped! It felt like a close-up of a mud-clay and straw sculpture... something deeply symbolic … Continue reading Contrast & Wonder
Bird’s Eye View, Or Is It #2
What are we looking at here: a satellite photo, a topographical survey shot from a plane, a bird's eye view of the tundra, or an up-close view of sun-bathed, small, and mossy rock? What do you want to see? That's all that matters. I found these questions and more rolling around my head as I … Continue reading Bird’s Eye View, Or Is It #2
Another Goldsworthy Perspective
Ok so I fiddled a little with the camera angles here to force a climbing feeling to the landscape. I was trying to get close to this fallen tree and capture as much texture as possible while catching the whole branch. It wasn't working out. The broken end at the base was full of textures, … Continue reading Another Goldsworthy Perspective
