I bought a few photography books in the weekend. Yes I am a book worm. :o)

Is it a challenge to post one picture a day to Flickr? Sometimes you just have not had any pictures in mind. I think sometimes we have that temporary “blindness” and we just could not see a picture or composition in a scene.

So how can we find the picture?

The authors of the book “Finding the picture” are trying to give some advice to the readers on this. I have not finished reading the text. However just by looking at the images I feel like very much inspired already.

Anyways if you cannot find a picture for posting to Flickr, may be you can post a shot of book cover? :o)

I am inviting my Flickr friends to share your experience and tips on how to overcome this temporary blindness and find the picture. Please treat this as a small forum for discussion on finding inspirations and ideas about pursuing our photographic vision.

Have a great Wednesday!

I like the words by the writers in the first section of the book.

“An experienced photographer should be able to produce excellent images using almost any camera.” – Clive Minnitt

When I arrived at Terra Nova that day, it was very windy and chilly. There was nobody in the rural park.

I was alone there. I took a few infrared exposures of the boardwalk.

The scene reminds me that any creative process (such as writing, painting or whatever arts creation except may be movie making) is always a lonesome journey.

Being alone is good indeed because you need to talk to your true self all the time during the process.

Have a great Tuesday!

Puss Tabby, my dear Queen at home, has her own “eat, play, nap” schedule daily.

In the morning about two hours after her breakfast, it is usually her play time (playing with the stringed mouse). However in the past Saturday morning, she decided to take a little more nap. Puss was taking the nap on her Queen’s bed. You can see she has the bed sheet with prints of “crown” signs signifying she is the Queen in the house! :o)

Happy Monday and have a great week ahead!

Life begins. Life ends.

Why does life begin? Why does life end?

Buddha said we need wisdom to get over the never-ending cycles of life.

This is the meditation of springing green at my backyard in the gloomy weekend.

Happy Sunday to everyone!

Some people argue that portraits are better in B&W because colors especially the colors on the clothing and surrounding are distractions.

B&W may allow the viewers to be more focusing on the face of the subject.

Do you agree on this? What is your opinion?

I just tried to convert one shot of Jennifer into B&W.

Have a great weekend!
