Weekly Photo Challenge: Juxtaposition

I had to look up this word – now I hope I have understood it. A juxtaposition is “the act of placing things side by side, especially for the purpose of comparison or contrast” — as in this shot. This shot is – old and new – different size and color .

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Found In Nature

as I am nearsighted, I rarely see bugs, and I usually do not have the patience to photograph birds…at least small ones. These I found ( read saw….) in the nature.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Man Made Items

These totem poles are wonderful pieces of BC First Nations artistry. The totems you see at Brockton Point today are new ones commissioned or loaned to the park between 1986 and 1992.

MakroTex – Fork – Haarukka

To photograph a fork – and try to make it look good or even interesting, that was the challenge for me. Here are my attempts to make art of forks – what do you think of the outcome?

I also found this old mickey mouse fork – first I had to try to clean it,  not so successfully, but at least I could see the Mickey Mouse
