A promise.

Spawn

Hmm, well it started out with me posting more than once a week - but life caught up again and I secured employment again.
My new job (and the attendant 4 hour round trip commute) have kind of put the kai bosh on my posting frequency.

Here's one of my favourite pair of subjects - taken on the way to a trip to the library just before I rejoined the work force.

I'll try to post more frequently. I promise.
This is an important promise, because I am the only reader (as well as the only author), so it is very important to keep my promise, to me (I'm really keeping the DiY ethic alive!! ;-)) ).

Strange Terrain


Strange Terrain

"Strange Terrain" - Olympus OMD EM-5 - 1/120 ƒ/11 ISO200

The thing I like about this shot is the relative lack of straight lines.
The dominant shape in most built environments is the rectangle, the special, equilateral rectangle (i.e. the square), and the half rectangle (i.e. the triangle), all of which are of course defined by straight lines.

In this frame most of the structures have curves. That's not to say that there are no straight lines, rectangles etc, however most of the standing structures have more curves than straights or are dominated by curves - and I kind of like it.

Makes for a kind of, well, Strange Terrain.
