Bulls Eye

Black And White Photography, David, Photography

Bulls EyeI took this shot while visiting a friends farm where they raise Charolais cattle.This is a close -up cropped shot. Taken with my Leica M9P and the Summicron 90mm f2.0 ASPH lens I have which is a little underused . However is my go to portrait lens. I decided to crop quite heavily  with the eye as an anchor point to give the shot more impact. I think I have achieved what I wanted to do. I would be nice to read what you think dear reader.

Abstract Reflections

 

Human-made objects with reflective surfaces often create unexpected art.  In this case, the reflection on the flat surface of this building in the heart of downtown Chicago creates the illusion of three dimensional space.

A bird arrives … Then immediately leaves..!

Mésanges

These two images compliment each other. I like the fact that on the first one the bird arrives and on the second the bird leaves. The bird came back so quickly, when she realized she did not take the time to eat .. !
I love little birds and I observe them everyday and photograph them with a lot of patience. :’)
I hope you like them !

Time goes by

time goes bye

Le temps passe

Tout le monde arrive
Tout le monde repart
Tel des rapaces

Ils ne me voient pas
L’horloge tourne
Les minutes défilent 

Mais moi je reste là
A regarder le temps
Assise sur mon banc

Depuis maintenant 21 ans
Je ne sais plus
Si je vis dans le présent.  

Time goes by

Everyone arrives
Everyone is back
Such as raptors

They don’t see me
The clock isn’t ticking
The minutes scroll

But me I stay here
To watch time
Sitting on my bench

Already for 21 years
I don’t know
If I live in the present.

In this image we are in Greenwich, London. This was taken this past summer and it was one of the only photos I took.
I wrote a little “poem” to accompany my photo. I tried my best to translate it in English but it does not rhyme with the translation.
