| Photo by John Levy |
Announcing my new photoblog, Photopoesis, launched this past weekend, which will function as a photo sharehouse for interesting, unusual and/or compelling photography.
The first installment features the photos of John Levy, poet/writer/lawyer of Tucson, AZ. Special thanks to John for sharing these magnificent images and for his collaborative input that resulted in my finally tackling this photo project I'd often thought about but never quite got around to doing.
Which photos to select, how and in what order to place them, etc., was a fun and intriguing process where size, color, subject, 'theme', shape, texture, angle, shadow, humor, irony, and visual impact all came into play. Each photo tells its own 'story'. For example:
** A newly hatched life says hello to existence.
** A wilted oleander, attack and death in the insect world,
a skeleton eyeing a passerby, all remind viewers of life's
cycle of impermanence.
** A spontaneous gesture from a biker in traffic aligns with fence
shubbery to point in the same direction, in perfect symmetry.
** A wall shadow spreads forth on a sunlit pavement.
** Stains on top a garbage can resemble the map of a distant blue
world.
** A turtle watches a discarded slice of watermelon float by.
** A hummingbird is immortalized suspended in mid-flight.
Camera-captured moments that beckon and hold us.
Pop by if you've time, and take a peek. They are really worth a look!
