frame within a frame
Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to go see some exhibits around town. The second stop was at a gallery where a beautiful woman called Reisei was showing her calligraphy and art work. I saw a chinese chair and a bird cage out side the window that made a perfect frame for a photograph. It's one of those moments where if I didn't speak out, a beautiful photo opportunity would be lost. Fortunately the guests have left, so I asked the artist if she would like to do a portrait sitting which she was more than happy to do, as she had been a fashion model at one point in her career. I like this picture because of all the frame elements within the frame. Even the green in the back becomes a framed canvas.

shadows on the wall
Just today, a fan of this blog had sent me a link to an interesting inteview between Edouard Boubat and Frank Horvat. In this interview, they were discussing about how photography is a process of subtraction where the photo is left with nothing more than what was needed. I think shadows are just that.
