I do admit there is something missing from this plate… “FOOD”, but I have a reserve so I’ll be ok. If anybody is concerned I’ll take a sausage pizza.

Chris stopped by for this weeks photo to be. I poked the machine hard and it spun really fast. Speaking of food I got my wish… we will be going to the:

“MARKET”

YES!!! this weeks photo to be is the market. A definition:

mar·ket (märkt)
n.
1. A public gathering held for buying and selling merchandise.
2. A place where goods are offered for sale.
3. A store or shop that sells a particular type of merchandise: a vegetable market.

So, we are all clear on what one is? We can now go and snap a photo of one. Wait a minute a market?  OOO-Kay, good news, it is always up to your interpretation. Maybe it is just marked? GOOGLED

PB&J the colorful edition

Published by Mike under Blogging,Photography and Art

Due to the fact I was out of town last week and my website upgrade problems I rushed this weeks PB&J. It’s a little sticky with the J running out the side and the PB a bit lacking. Without more delay about the type of PB&J here are last weeks photos:

Chris came by early to get this weeks choice. I grabbed the machine and shook it graphically then pressed the button and continued shaking. I thought I heard the machine yell back, “still man, still. I want to live!” I stopped shacking it and sure enough it said:

“Still Life”

Still life is the photography of an inanimate subject. This can be a bit demanding since it is up to the photographer to refine the lighting and composition. WIKIPEDIA  Don’t read too much into the definition. In the basic sense it’s a picture of an inanimate object such as a classic basket of fruit. Check out GOOGLE to see other examples.  As always it’s up to your interpretation.

Website Problems

Published by Mike under Blogging,Life

It seems my quick jump into to the newest coolest cutting edge blew up my website. After a long bit of fiddling everything but my calendar seems to be up and running. Lesson: Never jump into something without checking what you are jumping into.

A PB&J that needs vitamins

Published by Mike under Blogging,Photography and Art

Last weeks “strong” didn’t seem to get the minds going. Maybe I should have called it meager? That certainly echoes my attempt at strong. At least I can use the word in a sentence. I’ll have to give strong consideration to removing strong as an item for the 52 week list.  Here are the submissions:

Chris stopped by to press the button for this weeks photo to be. I was still grey from last weeks meager attempt and fumbled to power up the box. After the coughing fit stopped, out popped something a bit more:

Colorful

Whew that hurt my head as much to make in code as it hurts your eyes, but it is colorful. This could be a photo technique or a photo subject. Examine the GOOGLED photos.  I hope this brings the color back and awakens all the minds. Interpret how you like but be colorful about it.

PB&J the lighted standard

Published by Mike under Blogging,Photography and Art

Another fine week has gone by, “It’s PB&J time!”  Nothing like a fresh PB&J to start out the day. Yes it’s that time when I gather my emails to see what fine specimens I’ve been emailed. Last weeks photo was fun. “Painting with/in Light” seemed to really get people going. I had several people come to see what I was doing. 

After a quick latte to go with the PB&J here are last weeks photos:

Last week certainly had peoples imagination working overtime.  Chris had his photo in early and even reminded me I hadn’t sent mine yet. With Chris standing by for this weeks photo the generator was fired up. As the smoke started to rise from the newly unmasked monitor out popped “strength” This should read:

“Strong”

Interpreting this subject is just that… up to interpretation. I feel it’s best to think of this as a strong subject causing an emotional response. If you look at GOOGLE1 or GOOGLE2 you see lots of very emotional photos usually sad or heartfelt. This is however not the only emotion. A beautiful photo of a flower’s silhouette can entice strong emotion.  Study the above Google’s and take a photo that shows a strong subject that will entice some emotion. As always this is up to your interpretation. Maybe a photo of strong person lifting something?  I await the many responses.
