Large RV

Large RV Spotted this RV in our neighborhood this week. The cab is made by Volvo, but I don’t know who made the living quarters. Maybe the second unit or trailer is used to haul a vehicle? Peeking through the cab I could see living quarters in the first unit. Conspicuous consumption?

Reflective contours in motion. I thought a second visit to the pinwheel would be fun. Pinwheel II

candy corn vine

One of three plants/vines I planted in a hanging basket this Spring. This vine is called a Candy Corn. Kind of resembles the sugary version.

Trendsetters here?

My quest for understanding a trendsetter and where they may currently reside is still ongoing. I doubt a ‘trendsetter’ would hang out in this location. Can Graffiti

Flowering Chive

We have one large chive that I tend to forget about. We do snip pieces

off for cooking every so often, but I don’t think I am supposed

to let it go to flower. The flowers are pretty, though.

Macro Stems

On May 24, 2009May 24, 2009 By Fred KingIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Shooting macro images of flowers and plants in general I tend, like many, to focus in on the blossom of the plant. The intent, with this image shot yesterday, was to focus on the stem of a plant and see how it turned out. I was pleasantly surprised. There almost seems to be a sense of atmosphere or something going on within the stem area of the plant. At the risk of repeating myself I think it is interesting to shoot something, with a macro lens, and yet capture both a bit of detail and a sense of abstract or dreaminess, if that makes sense?

Bleeding Hearts

On May 24, 2009 By Fred KingIn blossoms, FlowersLeave a comment

I have posted an image of the flower called ‘Bleeding Heart’ before. This image is actually from my own plant in a pot I have on the back deck. I’m not sure if there is some sort of metaphorical connection between ‘Trendsetters’ and ‘Bleeding Hearts’. I think I have a better understanding of ‘Bleeding Hearts’.

Trendsetter?

Advertisement How do you spot a ‘Trendsetter’? Should I aspire to be a “Trendsetter”? Maybe the idea is to gather all of the ‘trendsetters’ in one location for the safety of the rest of us.

On the Staten Island Ferry looking back at Lower Manhattan. Just an amazing view. Thought I would dig into my NY images today.

Droplet

Droplet It seems like the water droplet actually magnifies what it is resting on. I’m sure there is some law of optical physics going on here. Maybe I am on to something? Well…..not likely.

Portraits are my weakest attribute. I not only avoid them, but I lack the interest in shooting portraits versus still life, etc. However, I really like this image of my niece’s daughter, Cassidy. I must have been lucky at this moment in time. This image is a favorite of mine.
