Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

                WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry

“…The sacred geometry of chance

The hidden law of probable outcome

The numbers lead a dance…”

   From WordPress at  Weekly Photo Challenge: Geometry : “This week’s photo challenge is guest hosted by Quintin Lake of Quintin Lake Architectural Photography. Read on for more about this week’s theme and his photography tips!”

From Quintin Lake: “Geometry. This challenge is about the shapes and rhythms that make up the geometry of our world. Many photographs of any genre have an underlying sense of geometry, but I often like to make this the main subject of my work. I think it’s the most important aspect of a photograph’s success. This could be the patterns of the natural  world up close and personal, or the rhythm of your local buildings.The above photograph, (to the right – blog admin) “Positive Negative,” depicts the Paula Rego Museum in Lisbon where the sky created an equally strong element of the composition as the building. The image has a totemic quality, softened by the passing cloud. I had waited for this cloud to move into the perfect position within the frame. The colour, light, and form of the image emphasize this geometry.

    “Share a photo that means GEOMETRY to you!

     “Tip: Once you have found a good subject that contains an interesting geometry, try to crop tightly into the subject to make an unexpected composition. Your goal should be to create an abstract composition so the image is more about underlying shapes than a literal representation of the subject matter itself — by doing this you create art rather than a snapshot. – I’m Quintin Lake, an award-winning architectural and fine art photographer based in Cheltenham, UK.

Balance. Alignment

When there’s a wiggle, do not ignore . when going straight, the wheel should be steady. if it flicks out of your hand or fingers (even slightly) or   jerks to the left or right then back, even lightly but suddenly, it means you’re not balanced.

(first three photos shot yesterday, while getting my balance).

If you don’t get your balance, you could spin when going too fast.

(in journalism, you should be balanced — present all sides, don’t spin it — Gosh, i’m punning again, going to town with this aren’t i. … out of town — oh, no… punning now incorrigible)


But not quite as smart as this art piece (see  photo below), this art work is a pun — it consists of some kind of metal parts that look like they’ve been welded or screwed together piece by piece. (Goodyear Servitek), shot while getting my alignment. Being exhibited in an “alignment” shop —  witty.

Next photo, balancing pose, “bound” tree pose (a variation of the tree pose), shot after a run, posted cropped Dec.9. This is supposed to look like a perfect vertical line when viewed from the side . For that to happen, the leg that’s bound should form a perfect zero-degree angle , horizontally, (a flat plane)

with your torso and hip — IT’S NOT HAPPENING HERE!!! It looks like a question mark. My seated bent poses look like mathematical symbols, my balancing poses look like punctuation marks (and not the exclamation kind) but ones like these%@&.

The balancing poses make your ankles, legs, and core, strong. ( — i think… that’s how it feels to me, i’m not an expert).

Get your balance and alignment this New Year!

running headlong against a whirlwind of papers

running

Photo by Myra Lambino-Ramos, all-original, Palm Springs Art Museum, August 2009

Deadlines. I’m rushing. Can’t blog.

Been running at dawn, a rush, back to my old haunt, no longer a grassy knoll, it’s been paved, cemented, pedestrian-laned, there’s even a hint of an amphitheatre, where’s the rocky treacherous terrain….?

the road to the holidays is paved with non-extendible deadlines.

(geez i’m punning again….stop her!!!!!!)

will take pictures maybe, if i can run while lugging a digicam (definitely. definitely rambling on)

and…Running headlong against a whirlwind of papers

(is the title formulated here for the photo; they look like shredded papers put up as art….J, the karate kid likes modern art, too, as it seems)
