What? No construction scenes? Koi pond in Kyoto

What? No construction scenes? Koi pond in Kyoto

Here’s a nice shot. No, I didn’t take it. My friend, Chris took the shot during a trip to Kyoto. He also took the photo of the bridge I posted back in Nov. Photo of koi fish from Kyoto Japan

I find his photos are thoughtful, composed .. a bit like he is. I was looking through some of his photos, unfiltered, over the holidays and it struck me how he takes a single shot and captures the mood. I take dozens of chaotic, on the fly photos hoping to catch the right image. If I manage to grab the one I wanted I think “cool” and do a happy dance. Not necessarily the best method, but it works for me.

I’m playing around with this with Photoshop, trying to turn it into a bit of digital art. But … I love the photo as it is, so maybe I’ll just leave it alone.

Big rocks, mud ‘n more mud – Construction Still Life Scenes

I think I told you yesterday it was muddy across the road. It’s muddier today after a bit more rain. I’m beginning to give up all hope of seeing sunshine in the foreseeable future. Everytime I look at the building site, the landscape has been rearranged. Today was an epic addition to Construction Workers’ Art – big rocks and more mud: Photo of construction site mud and rocks

I looked through photos from yesterday and spotted 2 rocks off to the side a bit and not particularily noticable. I missed them when I initially looked over the photos. Sometime during the morning, they spent time dredging up the other rocks and dumping them together, creating today’s scenes from Still Life with Construction. They’ll likely be gone by the time I head out tomorrow.
