Saturday August 30th Inara and I go for a walk. Across the street is a Crab Apple Tree. Oh grandpa those look great! Can I pick one to eat? A few minutes of selection, shape, color many are viewed but one is chosen. We continue to walk, I want to eat it. Okay you can. Grandpa we should wash it? I doubt it was sprayed. No grandpa we should wash it. We will stroll to North Street and go home to wash the apple. We continue up the street. Every twenty feet or so as we check out things along the way it’s I really want to eat it, go ahead, no we should wash it. As we head back it becomes grandpa I could literally eat it now! The urgency of the planned delight grows our pace quickens. Finally back the tiny apple washed we sit she nibbles the tart apple. Argh grandpa a worm!! I told you it wasn’t sprayed. I get that look we laugh.

A Recent Walk Sept 1st

September first around the block thoughts on negative space and composition.

1954 Chevy Pick-Up Sept 1st 2018

Negative space how what isn’t your subject defines whether it is a snapshot or a photograph. On this image my concept and space reality made me crop this shot. A car parked behind and bushes that constrained my space to back up. I like the angle of the truck but this position removed the car it also added to much  front yard across the street. I like the crop alright but oh to be able to step back 18 inches.

Plums Ripen and fall to the sidewalk.

Triangles a prime aspect of composition push the viewers eyes to your subject. The obvious one is the branches caressing the plums. More subtle triangles the leaf in the upper left like a pin ball bumper directs your eye back to the plums as does the leaf in the lower right. If you look hard there are many little ones but all lead to subject.
