Bits and pieces

The interesting part, and the part I like about photography is that I get to choose what I want to show. Small fragments of a big picture. Remove what I don't like, the background that may distract and leave the clues. The bits and pieces. The rest is up to you :)
This is when the imagination start to work. And we all can see the same picture in so many different ways adding up to the story.
Pretty cool if you ask me.



A lot like real life and humans. Everyone chooses what to show and how much to show. And others are free to interpret what they see the way they want to.

Removing background or blurring it hides location. The old door might become from a back entrance to an abandoned palace garden or old shed. Who knows (I do, but I am not tellin' :p ).

Did you notice how good old concrete looks on black and white photos? The cracks and stains are more visible. Shadows just and some extra drama here. It's not something people would pay attention to. Some old fence dumped on the side of a property. And I admit I would not pay more attention to it too if I had nothing else to shoot. The shape of it did draw my attention, calling my name. And since I am a good girl, I listened (this time).

Yes that is especially true of most folks on Facebook and Instagram as far as showing essentially a highlight reel of their lives. Personally, I prefer the authenticity of some vlogs on YouTube.

I do love to see black and whites as it certainly does accentuate details often overlooked when surrounded by color. I also find a certain artistic fun using shapes of sepia as well.

haha yea :D everyone is so happy and pretty and always in perfectly set table with perfect smoothie bowl :P

I like the roughness of some textures in BW. It's less visible in colour.

We can captured what we wanted and show what we like to share.
Hope life is like that too, we can easily neglect things that doesn't please us.

Great photos!

It would be great to ignore all the things we don't like. Impossible though..

The photos are great. Your attitude to the world around you is interesting to me. The spider web around the door handle is very beautiful. Sony camera for this amazing photography

The fence looks like a solid iron fence, but I'm sure it's not iron but strong concrete cement. Carving the fence adds to the uniqueness of that unique photo

those are tiny aspect of real life that most of the times we all pass by... If you have an eye for this you must be a sensible warm person.
