Last Friday, Oct. 26th was PhillyPhotoday and the Library hosted a workshop in which I took part. Above is the pic I submitted. I pushed myself to try and go beyond my usual traditionally composed, bucolic mode. I like this one because I was able to combine so many disparate elements without losing balance. Framing the image, to the far right and left, and the lower center, are curves. The rest of the picture looks like what could be chaos--different angles, materials, colors, time-periods, planes of perception, yet balanced and harmonious. Like a city, like Philly, like a human being. My camera's dating is set with PM and AM topsy turved, so I hope the wrong dating doesn't disqualify it.
Here are a few more I took.
And one bucolic I could not resist, the Horticultural Society's grass planting in the Library's Shakespeare Park.
My new camera is bringing me a lot of happiness by allowing me to do good stuff that previously I had only been able to imagine.
