And now for something completely different. I was feeling like I wasn’t being very creative, falling back on my usual flowers and macro photos. So, I went out with an eye toward black and white. This led me over to the grounds of the Good Night Inn which has still not been cleaned up after the Almeda Fire and which is directly behind my house. It turned out to be a rich environment for black and white and I was so pleased with the results that I’m going to do a week long series. The images were all taken with the Lensbaby Sweet 50 mounted on the Canon M3 handheld. They were all processed using Nik Silver Efex Pro software, a plugin to Photoshop. Today’s image is an intrepid little weed growing up in the cracks in the parking lot.
Today’s quote is from Annie Dillard:
The thing is to stalk your calling in a certain skilled and supple way. To locate the most tender and live spot and plug into that pulse.
