52Frames - Week 9 - Details

In looking ahead to spring and another bike riding season, it's clear a good cleaning is needed before winter ends. I'm hoping to flip the odometer past 10,000 miles this year. We shall see...

Shoot With Intent

An assignment from Chelsea London, from whom I am receiving one on one mentoring, was to emulate a photo from architectural photographer, Ezra Stoller.  In doing so, I would shoot and process with an end result in mind, ie. with intent.

I chose one of Ezra Stoller's less dramatic images because during Covid, I'm not venturing into the city where I could find more dramatic architectural compositions.  Saving that for later this year when I'll repeat this exercise. Here's a link to the image I chose to emulate:  https://www.artsy.net/artwork/ezra-stoller-shaw-house-carson-lundin-and-shaw-long-island-ny

How Near Is Clear?

This car wash is a metaphor on where we stand in the fight against Covid.  We're on a track, the end seems unclear at the moment and yet at some point we'll emerge into the brightness.

Ghost Man

C.London52w8 - Low Key 

From the C.London website: "As you may have guessed, Low Key photography is the opposite of last week’s prompt. In low key images, the tones are darker and shadows are more present overall. Low key photos may read mysterious, graphic, etc. For this week, manipulate the scene to create a low key photograph."

With a slight break in the weather, I wanted to explore my immediate neighborhood for a low key photo opportunity. I found this composition and had to react quickly when the sun and clouds presented an interesting reflection with lots of contrast. This was the best of the bunch.
