I’m not entirely sure what I liked about this one. Maybe it’s the dark and lighter shady and the somewhat shiny texture. And the fact that its rather soft and flowing.

Glass marbles
A neighbor gave us some irises from his garden as a welcome back gift for my wife. They came in a glass vase (which we’ll return to him) full of colored glass beads. Seeing them on the table I thought the shapes, patterns, colors and the smooth textures were appealing and decided to make this picture. To enhance the overall effect I took a flashlight and placed it behind the vase shining through the vase towards the camera.
Taken with a Sony Alpha 500 and Tamron 18-250mm lens, f16 at 0.4sec and the camera on a tripod.
A crack in the concrete
I recently posted (A couple of short videos) a video interview with David Bailey in which he said:
I never understand when people say I don’t know what to photograph. Just look at a concrete wall with cracks in it and you can paint for eternity. I’m never at a loss to find out what to do next. It’s all there. All you have to do is open your eyes.
So after taking some pictures of the picnic shelter near Pelton Pond I’m sitting at one of the tables when I notice this crack in the concrete floor. So I thought – why not?
People in windows
I was walking the dog in Briarcliff Manor when I noticed the geometric pattern of the bright windows against the darkness outside. The people seen through the windows add a human dimension to an otherwise abstract pattern.
Light patterns
While waiting for my wife to emerge from our local health club (she does dance/exercise classes there) I noticed these patterns being made by the light shining through a glass roof.
