Hi ,
Hand on hip, facing us, or turned away? [Story and more photos below.] Perhaps our featured "lady" is waiting for an answer from you to the following:
Will you be able to attend the live interview I will be doing with Jerry Downs, well-known photographer, tomorrow night... Monday, September 16th at 5:30 PM Pacific time/ 8:30 PM Eastern time on Zoom Video Conferencing. To join, follow https://zoom.us/j/311294925. For more how-to join details see the end of this email.
The interview promises to be rich with ideas as Jerry describes how he looks at his world with wonder and love, as he connects with what captures his attention.
In a planning conversation Jerry said that when he is out walking he no longer looks for pictures. "I simply enjoy the act of looking. Not everything makes a good picture, but everything is worthy of appreciation. If you can find yourself in a state of appreciation, pictures, synchronicities and magic are everywhere!"
What would it be like to be experiencing some of that, especially if you are not already doing so?
Now, back to the Garlic cloves... Perhaps you saw the featured image in a totally different way than I expressed.
Several years ago, as I was separating garlic cloves from the bulb for mincing and using in a stir-fry meal, I saw two interestingly shaped cloves of garlic. I was particularly impressed with how comfortably they fit together.
I put them aside to photograph and sporadically did so from different perspectives over a period of several weeks.
I love the textures and the silkiness feeling in the photo above. It is an enlargement of a segment of one of the cloves.
Below you see the original two "eye-catcher" cloves that started my discovery series. They are resting on a print of the enlarged segment.
To see additional photos from the series, follow the More Garlic Clove photos link to the blog post where I've posted a few more photos. All have, for me, many different interpretations. I'd love for you to add your experiences of them in the comments.
Self-Reflecting Queries:
For the next few days I invite you to find imagery that suddenly excites you and has you discover something, perhaps in the never-before-really-looked-at "mundane" things around you.
What does this experience open up for you?
Again, the Video Interview which offer the possibility, perhaps, of some new openings for you with yourself and/or your camera:
I invite you to join me and photographer Jerry Downs on Monday night, September 16th at 5:30 PM Pacific/ 8:30 PM Eastern. Simply go five minutes before to https://zoom.us/j/311294925 to join
