Three Images from Summer to Fall. Looking Through 2015 Files

by // 4 Comments

Despite knowing it is just another day years of programming has led me to a review. Here are three images one from July, and two from October. I plan on visiting this tradition of review a few more times. Always liked shooting more than printing so there is a few images to see. Contrast and a bit of added saturation pretty much just out of camera. Comments welcome, I’m getting use to digital any thoughts?

Coming and Going, Rarely at Rest

In transit.

On foot, a bike, a bus everyone is rushing along. Metaphorically we race along in our head on the smart phone, computer we travel. I have been called a motion/emotion photographer so I observe the motion creating a downtown tableau. I wonder where is everyone going on the streets and in their minds? Perhaps I wonder and ponder too much? I’ll give it some thought and write more later.

She sees something I should see she says “That’s Silly.” I in-turn see something she should see I say  “That’s Cool.” So I ask her when she says that sometimes it is silly, but sometimes it is cool what you want me to see?  She looks and ponders, the car goes alongDSC_0148S15 B-2 Lgt ShirtChair 50 Cnst-50 Lgt30 LgtChair 20 Cnst_20 10-3-15we pass something she likes wants me to see, “That’s Cool” I agree it was cool colorful, creative, unusual which is what I mean by cool. Later we pass something else from the back she hoots “That’s silly!” It was and grandpa smiles.

Next month 4Y.O. time races by faster than a speeding 3 YO and that’s fast. Here are a few moments from recently for me but long ago for her. There is little time to linger as there is something new, something always comes next.

There were snakes and lizards to pet and a real Herpetologist to meet.

Something always comes next, Grandpa grandpa she squeals above the din of 300 + kids racing from event to event so much to see and do. To touch she wants to touch everything it is a way of understanding the world around tactile communication. The movies she watches, the books she reads Mostly Nat Geo or Nova. Science videos, documentaries it is plain that people are a boring animal.  Ahwooo she howls I am Trancern the king of the wolves.
