‘Forlorn’
‘Forlorn 2’
‘Forlorn 3’
As the nights draw in.
Darkness is my new friend.
My isolation is real.
In this freezing weather, alone.
My heart begins to slow.
My body grows cold.
No one to keep me warm.
No one to keep me warm.
Spotted these flowers struggling in the frost yesterday while looking for a pic for my 366 project.
‘Boom’
‘Early start’
Here are two other pics taken yesterday at the same time as my ‘Images not Words’ shot. All three were taken from the same spot but feature slightly different main elements. Yesterday’s being the crow in flight (see below), one being the jogger and one that focuses on the sun bursting through the clouds. In the end I decided to choose the bird shot for the project as it gives as sense of being free.
Now I have to decide what to shoot today.
‘Untitled 16’
‘The Passing of Time’
This was nearly my shot for yesterday’s ‘Images not words’ but in the end, I opted for the condensation covered window.
I do love how the low morning light picks out this particular grave, coupled with the natural framing provided by the tree.
So rather than let it sit on my hard drive, here it is.
Following on from yesterday’s post, here are a few more I took at Old Roar Gill.
I quite like how these look in black and white.
‘Old Roar Gill’
A birthday party last night meant returning today to collect the car.
With coat, hat, gloves and hiking shoes I decided to wander through Alexander Park up towards Old Roar Gill.
One camera, one lens and a Manfrotto PIXI mini tripod.
Ended up walking for nearly three hours in the mud, rain and hail.
Was a productive photo walk nonetheless.
I think this shot encapsulates the mood.
‘The Past’
It’s said that history repeats itself.
It seems that way sometimes.
We are told that we should learn from history.
From our past mistakes.
And for a short time we do.
But mankind is fickle.
History repeats itself.
Doing my 366 project ‘Images not words’ is really pushing me to think about photography and art, to look for interesting things the whole day through. Yesterday was a good day and yielded handful of images I was quite pleased with. Alas, only one per day can go into the project, which forces me to think yet again about which would be the best to choose.
The rest I can upload as a normal blog post.
My brain hurts.
