took my camera with me to work today

[handmade34]

felt nice to have it in my hands again... just a simple shot in the backwoods of Central Florida...

"Can't See the Forest for the Trees"

1. That would be a nice shot for the photo contest.

Lines.

3. I was in search of "lines"

this is not a great photo, just a photo that I like... if there is a void and I have nothing else I will enter it...




I would rather use this one for "line"

2. The trees form a triptych. Good composition.

9. funny...

I believe I have an eye for aesthetics and I have one of the best cameras around... but I have no skill with it...

it feels like I will never learn how to properly use my camera

I guess I'm just one of those suited to the ole P&S

11. Just keep taking pictures, and learn from the great visual artists.

Google Cezanne.

12. one of the perks

of traveling for a living... I try to visit as many art museums, zoos and parks as I am able... I was working in Baltimore when BMA had a Cezanne Exhibit...

I dream and try to absorb things but just not good at consciously studying

13. Just look for triangles, or groupings of threes.

5. Love them both

For their individual merits.
Both great for the contest! I had such a hard time chosing because lines are all I see. Must be hot a shades in Florida.
I would be there myself had my mother lived......
that makes me sad........

6. I am sorry you're sad, my dear Mira...

[handmade34]

8. ...

I know you are sad

last month my mom died, I had no relationship with mine

but I think I understand the void left by losing yours

in remembrance of all your past stories... I have a great pool just outside my door here and I am in it everyday

[Mira]

10. My sympathy to you. It hurts either way, I'm sure, just differently.

So very sorry!

Enjoy your time in the South, Mom loved water, anytime, anywhere, and was passionate about the deep South.

Two photos just for you

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear handmade34...

Both of your pictures are wonderful! The trees are ramrod straight, and the zebra is organically not. I think I would use the zebra too, for the contest. It's great.

14. I agree

15. So simple...

..but I found myself studying it for some time. Interesting.
