A pointed pic - that must be the last of the puns?? (Not very good I admit) Looks like a fair amount of damage could be caused by these, but with any luck, they will never need to go off.
Love the composition of this photo - all the bombs aimed at the viewer with the children sitting in the background looking away. Makes for a great photo, but, in real life, I wish the children were in the foreground looking at the viewer, and the bombs were facing away. Love your links to "Quotes for Photographers" - so applicable!
Hmmm ... some interesting points being made here. thought provoking composition.
Can't remember who said it : "Here's a toast to the weapons of war : may they rust in peace."
If this are real bombs I sure don`t like it . Have seen the damage they can do to much in my life . And it doesn`t matter from who`s it come from , your friends of you enemy
Loved the video Damon; there was so much in it. One of the things I most enjoy about my photography is "the chase," going after something I see in my mind's eye. Sometimes it has taken me years to achieve the photo I'm after. Photgraphing the natural world has SOOOO many variables: I have to wait until next season, or the sky isn't right, or it's not the kind of snow I want, or the lighting isn't favorable, etc. I keep at it because "the chase" is part of the exhileration. Once I've got the "capture", there is supreme satisfaction, because I am extremely critical of my own work. Then, believe it or not, it's a little anticlimactic; the "chase" is over. I will always be a photographer because there will always be something that I've got to capture, and there will always be something new i want to try. I've never put any of my real artwork on "365" because I don't want those photos floating around. The published ones have cost me the rights to them, but that's the trade-off. blah, blah, blah............See you Damon, Les
@glimpses - I know what you mean about the on-going projects. I have projects in my head from years ago that I am still working on. Yes the chase is part of the fun. But then I think this too...
"If photography was perfect, there would be no new things to see, nothing to view into, nothing to live for." (this is a quote of me... LOL). I like the change and the idea that for many things we will never be fulfilled. We live for partial fulfilment. Those moments of success are the ones that make life interesting and worth living for. Take care. D.
very good repetitions here, for the composition, I mean.
