The Good
I've slowly been sifting, deleting, reminiscing and reflecting as I thumb through my USB drives before transferring the photos to an external hard drive.
There are times I sure miss rearing these beautiful creatures.
The Random
Funny thing about composting...
Funny thing about composting...
...seeds will grow...
...so now we shall have red and yellow peppers sometime before summer is over!
I don't really know when, as I've never composted before or have grown peppers
...so it'll be a surprise.
The Fun
Last week, the museum I wanted to visit was closed the day I chose to go. I wanted to do something- so out of the blue I decided to go to The Getty, but not to shoot what's inside...
...but the architecture of The Getty itself. What do I know about architecture? Absolutely nothing! I went with no pre-conceived ideas except that I wanted to give it a go.
I had hard start in photography. Being a bit of a perfectionist and all those photography rules I just couldn't relax to shoot the story I wanted to tell. Well, practice, practice, practice till I found my style and then this boom....
Architecture!
All those beautiful straight lines!!!
I spent 3 hours wandering around and I noticed that perception and perspective changed with every foot step. Not to mention that shooting in full sun has always intimidated me but I was killing two birds with one stone that day. I have to say I love when I shoot purposefully and not everything is a "happy accident."
Of all the 1000's of art pieces at The Getty,
this is my favorite.

Ohhhh did I ever figure out fast why I loved it.

Beautiful butterflies, and the other photos are great, too, especially the one with a lot of red in it - very pretty!

ReplyDeleteI went to the Getty on my one of my first trips to LA. It was a gorgeous museum!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good visit to the Getty Tamar
DeleteOh Kelly...what stunning shots you captured! Especially love the butterflies!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the photo love Mitzi
DeleteIf you learn the rules of photography, then you are free to break them. You have a great eye, so allow your eyes to guide you to shoot the composition you see. You are good with architecture, and I like your monarch butterfly shots.
ReplyDeleteOh my, thank you for these beautiful words. I really appreciate your feedback...so right about the rules!
DeleteBeautiful butterflies! And peppers need a lot of water! I love your first archi shot- gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on watering peppers! I'm in luck-I tend to water a lot so it's no wonder they have t died yet! lol happy you stopped in
DeleteSo beautiful and interesting pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you Brigitta. Happy you stopped by.
DeleteI love the shape of that building. We usually get melons in the veggie garden without planting them!
ReplyDeleteMelons are fun Betty. I'm glad you popped in.
DeleteI LOVE that building set against the blue, blue sky. The best way to go is with no perceived ideas that is when the magic happens. I need to tell myself that more often ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah that blues sky against the building totally struck me too Sarah. It was a really fun and positive experience. xo
DeleteI love the Getty Museum! You've captured the architecture so beautifully! The stairways inside have fascinated me, as well as the fountains outside. Now I want to visit here again!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sharon. It is a peaceful place to wander. Hope you get there.
DeleteThose butterfly photos are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you Elizabeth. I hope to rear them again but with better conditions in the future. Thank you for stopping by.
