Its all about the framing.

I snapped this picture down at our local supermarket.I would like to tell you that I carefully selected the framing to highlight the juxtaposition of sensual curves and industrial bold blocks of shading.

Smoking in the moment.

I’m really happy with this photo. The focus is sharp. The composition is good and the contrast between the man’s white beard and cigarette, and the greyscale background pops.

An evening walk through the sculpture garden
Last evening took an aimless evening amble down by Lake Burley Griffin. Sat for a while listening to the music at ‘The Jetty’ food and entertainment precinct. Before we left I threw a couple of ice-cold brews and a bag of savoury snacks into my satchel because who wants to pay $25 bucks for a…
