The Old Shed

For several years I’ve been driving past this old shed and on this snowy October day finally stopped and photographed it.  As I waded through the knee deep snow I chastised myself for not doing this before we had an early winter storm.  But, it you don’t go, you don’t get the shot.

More of my images can be seen at Northern Visions Media.

The glazer’s bad dream

The outbuilding was some way off the road. What caught my eye was the reflection of the sun off the broken glass. As photographers we are constantly searching for interesting elements; lines, textures, contrasts, and tones, and hopefully meaning*, which offerers the biggest challenge. Does the image serve as a metaphor for something deeper?

*Minor White asked us to not just, “photograph a thing for what it is, but for what else it is”, which I believe is the best advice to photographers anyone ever offered, “f8 and be there”, a close second.

Ok I have a little weakness. I do enjoy a whisky now and again. My last one was 3 weeks ago at a whisky tasting in Oslo. I will at least share the picture I took with you. However I’ve still some Monochromian’s I’d like to raise a glass…or two with.
