Another musician photo.
This is one I took the time to frame, or at least it felt like I took the time. I knew what I wanted to capture and how I wanted to capture it when I took this, and I think I was successful in my attempt.
You could probably pull a lot of things from this photo. Maybe something about identity, or an extension of the self, or perhaps a shadow of light. Not sure.
I hope you enjoy.
One listen for this one.
I just went for it, so to speak, and wrote whatever came forward. There was a bit of thinking, however, but due to how the song is paced I don’t think it had too much of an impact.
Overall I think some parts of this are alright and some are really flat. It’s definitely better than some of the things I’ve written, but it could still be better than it is, I think
2814’s “Transference” is from Rain Temple.
I hope you enjoy.

A shimmering of sound along a lengthy, drawn out moment of clarity. Percussion drips in precises spots and the sounds keep moving through this open space. It could be closed and instead just painting a scene of sorts, and maybe it is as the calm shrinks away for a moment before it comes back with more beat.
In that beat it seems as though bass is peeling off, and other sounds seem to echo a little, though maybe they are not echoing but rather are detached and trying to find a way to take form in the reality that the sounds present.
Some sound moves away whilst other is revealed, or at least made more obvious. Arpeggiating keys move steadily and carefully. They move through the space afforded to them and it seems slow, and maybe it is. They take more focus as more sound disappears before coming into full once more.
The bass peels off the beat and the space is fuller. It is widening with sound; it is expanding. It is growing through the keys becoming busier and other sounds altering how the melody feels.
All continue moving through, moving back and forth and something airy lingers for a moment, and the sounds continue their movement. They continue moving on a moment they formed, and eventually they start pulling away once more.
This time around they don’t come back. The space grows more sparse, and it shimmers. It shimmers and fades, leaving the sound of wind at the song’s end.
Another gig photo.
This one is odd, and “arty” in a way.
I hope you enjoy.
More people at a concert and more playing around with contrast.
In a way it makes the photo look busy, but it also does in colour.
This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. Participating is pretty straightforward and something I recommend. If you do, then include the tag “monochrome-madness” in your post. If not participating, then at the least check out Leanne’s photography as well as what other people submit.
I hope you enjoy.
Another recent gig photo involving a somewhat popular group.
This one came through more in processing due to how much light I let in and I think it works this way. It was a moment that I believe was meant to feel cool and I think that’s what the photo shows.
I hope you enjoy.
One listen for this one.
I didn’t have much of a direction when I started but it was soon where I was trying to capture a sense of the atmosphere of the imagery. I didn’t pull that off but I think I described the song’s flow well.
2814’s “私たちは、ハイパーマーケットをさまよう” is from 2 8 1 4.
I hope you enjoy.

A smooth hum as everything fades into vagueness. Sounds echo and linger at the edges of clarity, and it’s almost as though a memory. All comes close to a sense of illusion; it’s real, but there’s something about it all that moves slow and there’s a detachment. There is a distance in the viewing.
Low wisps as a languid beat plays out and all around an atmosphere that’s airy, seemingly joyful and seemingly unreal. Scene floats about as everything drifts on by in a sense of scenes flipping past, but they are connected.
The beat drops away and sounds float and warble, fade in and out and it’s a slow pause. The atmosphere permeates and a gradual shift in form seems to be there. That low wisp moves across the scene as something rises up, rises up and reaches a point before it seemingly starts lowering. It doesn’t, but it seems that way.
The sounds fill in the space but they still remain at the edges of clarity. The languid beat returns and all continues drifting through and along, and there remains a detachment and maybe a longing. There seems to be a desire for connection to something real, but this space is as real, so perhaps it is a real that cannot be had in this moment. There’s a reaching and a yearning, and the sounds keeping on drifting in gradual cascades, and they float throughout.
Once more the beat drops and there’s a moment where something more clear than everything else seems to appear, and it appears in hums and ringing. Everything seems to clear around it and it too is at a distance, and it too clears and fades, as though leaving, and the song ends.
I feel like this photo is more about the poles themselves than it is the poles and the space around them. That said, I do like the contrast between water surfaces, and I like that clouds are picked up in the pool.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-seventy-third Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Symmetry“.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Week 1 – Tina
Week 2 – Patti
Week 3 – Ann-Christine aka Leya
Week 4 – Amy
Week 5 – John Steiner
Week 6 – Sofia Alves
Week 7 – Anne Sandler
Week 8 – Donna
Week 9 – Guest host
Sofia is curating this one. The next is curated by Donna and it appears as though there’s a hint suggesting asymmetry for her challenge.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.
From where I was standing it looked like this musician was tall, but I feel this photo makes him look much taller.
I hope you enjoy.
Another photo of some of The Sydney Opera House’s structure.
I took this as I was interested in the sense of symmetry in this particular spot. There’s not really anything else to it; at least, I don’t think there is.
I hope you enjoy.
Here’s another photo of this hat.
I wanted to share this photo due to how the light falls on the flowers. I’m pretty sure the warmth came through in processing rather than from taking the photo, and it creates a kind of “vintage” moodiness, though that’s probably not the right phrasing to get across what I want to get across.
I hope you enjoy.
