Photograph Works

My diary in photographs

Month: October 2019

  • Abstract Wires

    A ventilation grate, some wires or cables, a piece of wood at an angle, and everything against a brick wall.

    A ventilation grate, some wires or cables, a piece of wood at an angle, and everything against a brick wall. The Tate website says that:

    Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead use shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

    Sliding sideways from art into photography, I guess we can use the same definitions more or less. And I guess the photo is abstract. You can’t see exactly what everything is. But you can maybe guess what things might be. Is it abstract?

  • Strong Weather On Midsummer Common

    It’s one of those days of strong weather. Mid October with the sun low in the sky, wind, sun, clouds, and cows trotting along on Midsummer Common in Cambridge.

  • Stuff

    I changed the theme of this site to Balasana. It was only after I chose and activated it that I saw that it is made by Automattic, the company that owns WordPress-dot-com.

    Balasana is described as a clean and minimalist business theme designed with health and wellness-focused sites in mind.

    Well, now it is going to serve me for this site.

    I googled and found out that Balasana means Child’s Resting Pose, a kneeling pose in yoga. You kneel on the floor, put your head to the floor in front of you and hold your hands behind your heels. I am pretty sure I did this as a child.
