blue / ball - memories of.. - Macdonaldtown (Wed 29 Jun 2016)

Streetshooter on Being Open:

we need to be observant of our vision and our feelings. The photos are out there if you are open to them. People are out there too and we need to be open to them more then anything else.

via Rest Easy Post by Streetshooter.

Not sure why I made a photo of this, but for some reason I could not pass it without taking a few moments to see the beauty in this banal scene.

Joel Meyerowitz on Stopping:

I finally had to stop [..] and give it a moment of my time

via Unknown (14 Dec 2015) by Joel Meyerowitz.

Had to stop and photograph this one. I was reminded of this photo I took in Madrid in Aug 2013.

On the Intangible - Alec Soth / Mick Brown (Sat 26 Sep 2015)

Untitled - I stood up from my desk and could not stop myself from taking a photo - Ultimo (Tue 22 Sep 2015)

Alec Soth on Intangible:

so much of what draws you in is intangible; it can’t be explained. It just resonates, in some way.

On Story Telling - Mike Johnstone (Sun 13 Sep 2015)

Blue - Chippendale (Thu 04 Jun 2015)

Mike Johnstone on Story Telling:

We live our little lives thinking known things are just known [..]

I think everybody should write an autobiography. Otherwise, the stories that you know the best, the stories that are so important to you, will only go away, lost like a bird falling out of the sky.

via Open Mike: The Fate of Stories (OT) by Mike Johnstone.

On Visual Thinking - Anne Whiston Spirn / The Eye is a Door (2014)

Aerial Urban Landscape - Mitchell Road / Alexandria (Wed 29 July 2002)

Anne Whiston Spirn on Visual Thinking:

Visual thinking is a powerful ability, and photography one of its tools, but that potential is unfulfilled

via Pick up a camera and use it to see, think, and discover (pdf) by Anne Whiston Spirn.

Have followed Anne's words and photos for a long time. I see shades of my own vision in her photos and her words are ever inspiring for someone who struggles with words - they are so hard to find for me. I suspect I am more visual than verbal. Thanks for putting it all so nicely Anne.

On Vivian Maier - Laura Hutson (Thu 16 Jul 2015)

Staircase (Blue) - Courtauld Gallery / Somerset House / London (Mon 15 Sep 2014)

Laura Hutson on Vivian Maier:

Vivian Maier is a perfect storm of populism [..] Maier is firmly nestled in the greater canon of modern photography already. It only took a lifetime of hiding her work and a chance discovery to get there

via Self-portraits and street photographs by Vivian Maier are brilliant and haunting by Laura Hutson.

Eurostar Platform - Brussels / Belgium (Mon 19 Aug 2013)
We had a few hours in Brussels as transferred to a train that would take us Amsterdam. The filtered light on the long platform in the Railway Station was just beautiful and this photo reminds of that time and the time we spent in Brussels in Sep 2009.

DRIZA-BONE - Red and Blue - Pitt Street / Sydney (Fri 23 Nov 2012)
Was looking for a red and blue photo (*) that day, and this was the second. Sometimes you just get lucky.

Nippy's Riverland Citrus - Yellow and Blue - Alexandria (Fri 23 Nov 2012)

Nippy's Riverland Citrus - Yellow and Blue - Alexandria (Fri 23 Nov 2012)
Just liked the colours, textures and the composition of this banal scene and how my little Canon S95 rendered the scene.

On Colour - Mental Preparation - Brad McGee / Cycling Tips (Thu 22 Nov 2012)

Red and Blue - Erskineville Road / Erskineville (Fri 23 Nov 2012)
Brad McGee (*) talks (*) about the depth and extent of his mental preparation:

If I needed firing up on the way to the start line, I’d look for cues like red colours, if I felt I needed calming down I’d look for blue…

via Brad McGee: Stealing that Time Back... (*) at Cycling Tips (*).

Truro Blue - Truro / Cornwall (Sun 06 Sep 2012)
Seem to have a liking for the colour blue (*) and the abstract (*). I like this very much and it is one of my best - all modesty aside - smiling to myself.

Blue Pipe - Skytree - Sumida / Tokyo (Fri 21 Sep 2012)

Blue Pipe - Skytree (*) - Sumida (*) / Tokyo (*) (Fri 21 Sep 2012)
As is usual for me, we go to major tourist attraction, the brand new and very high Tokyo Skytree (*) Tower, and this is what I come back with, a photo of a blue pipe crossing a storm water drain.

Drawn to the blue and the receding darkening to black. The subtle vertical rust lines towards the bottom really make it for me. Another personal favourite from the trip.
