I am going to take a break from posting this weekend to spend some quality time with my family outside away from technology for all of us. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and see you again on Monday.

This episode was entitled “Paper Movies”. The American photographer Garry Winogrand said that he took photographs to “see what the world looked like photographed”.

Photographers have always had this as their mission statement, but the three decades from the late 1950’s onwards was the real golden age of the photographic journey. The Genius of Photography – Paper Movies relives the journeys that produced some of the most acclaimed paper movies. The programme looked at the golden age of street photography from the 1950s and beyond, the age of the photographic roadtrip.

Summer, The Lower East Side, 1937 by Weegee

In this episode it shows the seminal work of Robert Frank in The Americans, William Klein’s one-man assault on the sidewalks of New York, the unblinking reportage of Weegee (Arthur Fellig) the Famous, Joel Meyerowitz stalking Fifth Avenue with his Leica, the enduring wit of Garry Winogrands’ charting of the human comedy in Central Park Zoo , British photographer Tony Ray Jones’ everyday people on the beach in which he dissects the eccentricity at the English seaside. Edward Ruscha’s gas stations and finally, William Eggleston’s guide to Memphis and the American South.

William Eggleston in Memphis.

It also examines the arrival of colour as a credible medium for serious photographers, as controversial at the time as Bob Dylan going electric.

This is on genre of photography that I would love to look at further as I love the candid shots I see on social networking photo sites such a Flickr, I just do not ‘yet’ have the confidence to take that many shots. I think this is one genre I need to persevere with and get the confidence to try again

Sometimes all it takes is a couple of minutes in the garden after the rain to find a little beauty and recharge the batteries.

Bathed in sunshine

We had a lovely walk by the Basingstoke canal this afternoon, followed by lunch with my mother in law. Whilst sitting in the garden afterwards I gazed out towards the fields behind her, watching the horses trot by when I noticed lots of tiny wild flowers, it was just so pretty with them all bathed in the golden sunshine. I took a lot of photos, this being just one 🙂

Web-tastic

The Daily Post weekly theme this week is the word “Enveloped” and what it means to us.

The photo of the web above came to mind when I first saw the theme for this week. It was a cold misty morning and the droplets of water on the web caught my eye, I just loved the muted colour tones due to the mist enveloping the whole scene.

Covered in the Union flag

I have been reorganising my Lightroom catalogues today (well making a slow start at it!) and came across this image from 2012 and thought that it fitted the theme quite well too. These statues in Cardiff had been covered with the Union Flag and added some great colour to what was a very dull rainy day.

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” – Ashley Smith

Beach life

Being stuck at work in an office all day, I took the time this lunchtime to look over some of my older photos as I am currently resorting my Lightroom catalogue, making sure they are all tagged, rated and sorted. I am also creating a book from the photos I took last year.

With the rain hitting the windows and the summer holidays getting closer this photo caught my eye, oh how I would like to be on this beach at the moment, relaxing with a good book and listening to the lapping waves and wildlife in the background. Bliss
