An open-air venue where concerts take place under this structure in the summer
and in the winter it becomes an ice skating rink. — kenne
Man Decides by Anshumali Baruah
Lines on paper, stand out
The lines transform into concrete
Glass and steel find their places.
A domain is defined.
Man walks into this domain
Feelings of acceptance or refusal accompany him
A fate is decided.
The domain constructed:
Finds its fulfillment in its users
Users and activities act as one
Thus giving this domain a meaning:
A sense of being built.
But if this purpose falter
The domain degrades
Leaving a void in its place.
A pain for the creator
Irreparable to the user.
But would it not be wiser:
To include man as the lines are drawn;
To indulge him in the choices;
And thus arrive at a successful domain
Creating harmony for all?

Holiday On the Patio — Organic Photography by kenne
Shape
is everywhere
you look,
unless you
count air.
A photographer
is first a viewer
looking for
contrasts
in shapes.
Different
kinds of shapes
convey
different
massages.
Decide
on the message
before
capturing
the moment.

Authentic Imperfection — Image by kenne
Like an old tree
standing
along the desert trail
we are not perfect —
growing
old together
recognizing
our imperfection
each step of the way
becoming
more perfect by
authenticating
our imperfection
staying
vulnerable together —
embracing
our essence.

Saguaro Cactus In Sabino Canyon — Black & White Image by kenne
“Does it matter whether one is required to complete the work
or whether one is free to desist from the work
if you must meet a final art that certainly you did not make?”
*****
“Philosophical problems are conceptual confusions
that arise when a form of utterance appropriate
to one mode of discourse is mistakenly used in the wrong context
Confusions must be unpicked employing ordinary uses of language.”

“A Rainy Evening” (Normal, Illinois) — Image by kenne
Photography in the 20th Century
was all about film photography
Ektachrome was my choice,
however, occasionally I shot in B&W.
“A Rainy Evening” is a B&W
photo taken in 1974, by
definition a vintage image
having been captured before 1980.
I rarely used B&W film
with my first SLR camera,
a Canon FTb QL that I still have.
“A Rainy Evening,” is a print
recently rediscovered,
by Mary Ann, inspired
by the lighting and
reflections of the moment.
I have no idea of the settings,
but it is reasonable to say
a very slow shutter speed with
a fairly low f-stop.
I’m not sure anybody cares
just one of many photo
projects taking me
to where I am today.
