Seeing the Mundane

Photography

Contemplative photography encourages us to turn off the noise and distraction continuously streaming from our conscious mind, and instead, be present in the moment, and without prejudice or expectation, be open to seeing beauty and visual interest in the mundane.

Mindfulness

Black And White Photography, C.S. Young Jr., Photography

I’m taking a Mindfulness in Photography class at my local community art school. The discipline is about “seeing’ first, before the brain jumps to conceptualizing, comparing past experience, and any number of internal or external distractions. How often had I missed seeing the beauty of the morning light falling over the dew collecting on an iris leaf in my koi pond?

Cheers,

Antique Cultipacker

Black And White Photography, C.S. Young Jr., Photography

This antique cultipacker was likely attached to the back of a seed drill, and pulled through rural Guilford County, North Carolina crop fields. After the seed is inserted into freshly plowed fields, the cultipacker immediately firms up the soil and creates rows to help retain water.

See additional antique farm equipment and structures in my Abandoned Architecture gallery.

Cheers!

Sagging Front Door

Stony Creek Ruins Front Door Detail Monochrome

This detail, from the house I posted a few weeks ago, shows signs of significant structural damage and decay. In my view, this is what makes the composition so interesting.

Stay cool and safe!
