365 project Day 005... reflection

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.
Albert Einstein

365 project Day 004.... good sportsmanship

It's good sportsmanship to not pick up lost golf balls while they are still rolling - Mark Twain

Day 178... Catch 22

He had decided to live forever or die in the attempt...

Catch 22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961. The novel, set during the later stages of World War II from 1944 onwards, is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century... I had never read it, never even picked it up before I saw this copy in the gift shop of the Art Gallery. It caught my eye with the black edging on the pages and the quote across the front.   

Day 164...

Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.

W. Clement Stone

 

Tonight I aimed for the moon and was able to capture it... not my first moon shot and it won't be the last as tonight's shot is preparation for Thursday morning when there will be a lunar eclipse, I am hoping for fine skies so I can capture it even if it does mean getting out of bed very, very early....

Day 152... light on

I know, I swear

If you leave a light on, if you leave a light on for me

I'll come there

You can leave a light on for me

Duran Duran - Leave a Light on

I was walking back to my car after another day at work when I saw this beautiful verandah lit up, I love the silhouette that was formed and the beautiful pattern.

Day 138...

A man's worth has its season, like fruit.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Last week was the first week that I set up a shot for the theme... I enjoyed the challenge and so I have decided to give it a go again this week.

Day 118... contrast

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction... Newton's first law

I know Newton wasn't talking about colour but when I look at this photo (a vase of sticks in my lounge room) it is what I think of... the brightness of the colour of the wall needs the starkness of the vase and sticks

Day 116... light as a...

It is not only fine feathers that make fine birds.

Aesop (620 BC - 560 BC)

I wandered down to the River Torrens today, such a beautiful Autumn day in Adelaide and thought I would get that postcard shot* as I sat on the bank the swans came right up to me and the lightness and texture became my photo of the day, the postcard shot will have to wait until another day (maybe tomorrow)

Postcard shot: those shots of our hometowns that we avoid because they are on the postcards in the tourist shops but as soon as we are in a different city we look at taking those very shots.

(Maybe we need to look at our hometowns as a tourist would?!?!?)
