This week’s photography challenge is “Lines.” Fortunately the heat is off for “Portraits.” I did find though that if I asked to take a person’s picture, they really didn’t mind at all – ask and you shall receive!! “Lines” lead a person into and out of a picture, as in railway tracks that seem to […]
Silly me ….silly camera….or both. I have been struggling with negative space for a few days so I decided that I had to “set up” another picture. There I was in my dressing gown (it’s becoming my work uniform), in the morning, in the dark, realizing that I had to light a match, to light
This is the photo challenge for next week – to create photographs exploring negative space. Negative space is everything in a picture that is other than the subject. This space actually enhances the subject or the story that the picture has to tell. Here is another shadow cast, this time on the wainscotting in the

Here’s another photo in the photo a day challenge. I took this at The Brickworks – a reclaimed city dump that’s been turned into an environmental centre.
