These selective focus images remind me of wet-on-wet watercolours, the cool tones running into each other, blending. A few sharp strokes of contrast.

Daily Practice 139/365

Title: "lips like lilies, sweet"

These little glimpses of the garden have me thinking of poetry, that written form where words are crafted together in unusual ways. Here the use of selective focus brings about a juxtaposition, a dialogue between two sides of the image - a whispered endearment unheard above the diffuse background noise.

Title: "Red fish/blue fish"

Hanging out on the dock, having a little al fresco dinner of superb fish and chips. Feeling a little nostalgic for childhood days eating at the beach.

Daily Practice 137/365

Today's daily practice post is a bit of a departure - rather than post one image, I decided to post the images made on the short 5 minute walk from my office to my car at the end of the work day. This was the first time during the day that I had thought about the daily practice, and I instantly decided to take out my phone and find some images on the way to the car. Click on any of the images to view them larger.

Daily Practice 135/365

Title: "Pelvic Artifact"

Old and venerable, dried by the wind, bleached by the sun. Perched on dark volcanic rock, a compelling contrast of shapes and tones; organic and inorganic.
