Day 40
 
Back in the studio after a whirlwind visit to New York. Over the next few days I’ll post some of the memorable images but in the meantime here is one of my favourites, yesterday afternoon’s  Central Park jogger. Like the Red Cyclist it was one of those lucky moments. The scale of the solitary figure against the trees and buildings I think justifies its inclusion in this week’s photo challenge.

What better way to spend Sunday before returning to Vancouver tonight than exploring the glorious treasures of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Greetings from New York! Yes, we made it, as those of you who follow the Weekly Photo Challenge already know as I submitted a photo of the Manhattan skyline from our taxi ride in.

How can I be in two places at once you ask? Well, at the beginning of the year my goal was to post an image from the studio every day for a year and so today is no exception.

If you look at the top shelf you will see the perspex box I used for the Daily Prompt: Make me Smile last April. Given that Michelle’s subject for this week’s Photo Challenge is Scale I like to think the photos are worthy of a re-post, as they are all about scale…and hopefully will make you smile again.

One of the remaining red tulips from Day 30 against an unfinished, imagined “classical” plaster and acrylic relief on canvas, which I also photographed in close up today with my Pentax 100mm Macro lens for Ben’s Weekly Photo Challenge:Depth.

Surely worth one more posting?

Colours have a beauty of their own, which must be preserved as one strives to preserve tonal quality in music. It is a question of organization and construction which is sensitive to maintaining this beautiful freshness of colour.
