52 Photos projects 44 (8/2013)

This week's prompt on 52 Photos Project is Harmony. I had great plans to seek out or create a wonderfully harmonious shot but I have been plagued with an injury to my right hand and now the left side of my back has gone into spasm in sympathy. While I am not sympathetic to either sides of my body, I did think, if only I could capture this on film and show how my body is totally out-of-Harmony..aah.

But time is running out, so I have searched my collection of photos to find an image that reflects Harmony. This one is from our holiday in Noosa last year. The full moon touches its light on a boat and some birds as it streams across the water. Maybe there is a message here that I need reminding of right now - so often in dark times you have to find your source of Light.

This week's prompt on 52 Photos Projects is Love. I couldn't decide or choose so I have copied Bella and created a collage of my loves which includes my husband and son, my woman friends and sights that inspire me.

 

 

52 Photo project (6/2013)

The prompt for this week on 52 photo project is "Hearts". Naturally, this is one of my favourite prompts. My collecting of heart shaped rocks which then led to me photographing hearts, all started  in Greece. On the island of Kythera, my dear friend Shell and I met the renowned Juliette de Bairacli Levy a herbalist / naturopath / gypsy. She told us that she lived near the beach which was the birthplace of Aphrodite and the only place in the world where you can find heart shaped rocks. We did. Ever since my eye has been drawn to hearts, heart-shaped rocks, hearts in nature and more recently urban hearts.

I often go out "heart hunting" and come home with only one shot. Then when I am walking without a camera I'll see several..so how to choose?

My favourite nature heart is this one. I was walking in the bush and decided to photograph interesting patterns in a dried patch of mud. When I got home, looking at the picture on my computer, I was about to discard the picture as uninteresting when I spied a tiny heart in the mud pattern. This is a highly cropped shot and it is a perfect heart.

This is my second favourite nature heart. This is a natural cavity in the side of Uluru, Ayers Rock in Central Australia. Instant love.

Finally here is my favourite urban heart, found on a garage wall in Bondi.. Loved that I had my camera with me on that wander.

52 Photo Projects (5/2013)

The theme on 52 Photo Projects this week is My Wish.

I am standing at the beginning of a new year where my heart's desire is to be bold and creative and step out bravely and with clarity of purpose.

I feel as though I am still unwilling to push out and lose sight of the shore just yet but I am slowly paddling into the unknown a little bit more each day ..

Here is an image that was so unexpected when I took the photo. It is symbolic of taking a punt and finding something wonderful. An inspiration for My Wish.
