Dear Diary…Early this morning, around 3:30 am, in response to Ben Huberman’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Nighttime, I decided to attempt my first Light Painting photography.

Subject: Sunflowers on the kitchen deck featured this week in From Seed To Sky.

Requirements:

My Pentax Kr DSLR
Infra red wireless shutter release (newly bought, and so worth it)
Tripod
Confused cat (not expected)
Disturbed wife (also not expected)

Result…well, you can decide comparing the same sunflowers in this morning’s sunshine…

Plan: Early night after the final season opener of Boardwalk Empire.

Humanity Lost
The emotion felt at the Holocaust Memorial and the Jewish Museum in Berlin.

Humanity Found
The emotion felt because of the very existence of the Memorial and the Museum in Berlin.

Nicole, whose blog Thirdeyemom teaches us so much about our world through her eyes, has challenged us this week to express through photography “Humanity”. Nicole’s images and words should be seen and read by all, for they are always inspirational. Thank you Nicole.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Dialogue

The dialogue between the photograph and the painting as it changes continues until that moment when the conversation ends and the painting is considered finished. The two photographs were taken at the magical Castello di Reschio in Umbria and the paintings completed in my studio back home. I have previously posted the different stages of the second painting, entitled Cypress Alleyway, in response to a previous WPC: Layers, for those of you who would like to have a “virtual” studio visit.
