Those of you who follow thechangingpalette will be familiar with this image from Studio 365:Day 48, which I have modified for Jen’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds.
The still life was photographed at night using light painting, and the Bokeh effect created by applying a Gaussian blur to the painting layer. The beautiful vase was made by the Vancouver artist Rachael Radford and featured on Studio 365: Day 36. Thanks Rachael.

Given today’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Rule of Thirds from Jen I thought I would work with some of the torn pieces from yesterdays Guildford Cathedral Revisited and play with the rule of thirds and Bokeh effect. What do you think?
The Centennial Totem Pole, Vanier Park, Kitsilano, Vancouver
Walking in this afternoon’s sunshine and with symmetry on my mind, the Centennial Pole made a perfect subject. The pole was dedicated in 1958 as a memorial to British Columbia’s Centennial year and was carved by Mungo Martin of the Kwakiutl nation. A second pole was presented to Her Majesty the Queen and resides in Windsor Great Park.For another view of the pole visit A Pole with a View from last summer.

No day shall erase you from the memory of time…Virgil
This quote from Virgil, which I posted on thechangingpalette three days ago, is displayed in the hall of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. It seems appropriate to post it once again to accompany today’s images.
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.
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.
Not at home.
Knot, at home.
New York, New York
Can there be anything more dramatic than the scale of the Manhattan skyline glistening and glimmmering in the early morning sun, as captured with my iPhone through our taxi window on the ride from JFK this morning after our red-eye flight from Vancouver. I know it’s not the greatest of photos but I feel it captures the beauty and majesty of this magnificent city waking to a new day.
Yes, for those of you who follow thechangingpalette, we made it to New York this week after our trip was cancelled a week ago because of the weather, and spent a glorious morning at the Matisse Cut-out’s exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, an exhibition that is all about scale and color and harmony, just as New York itself is, and about which more to come.
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.
