Shapes of Light

Steps of a castle entrace at the Bled Castle in Slovenia.

This is a type of photo I've noticed catches my eye, as I go through and sort photos and pick my favorites for the blog. This kind of photo I would categorize as mostly about light, shapes and patterns. I could turn this to black and white and the photo would still work and convey a similar feeling. These images are often relatively monochromatic to begin with.

This is in contrast with the other type of photo I often share, in which COLOR plays a huge role, like yesterday's soaps from Nice. Yes, light and shapes and patterns are still important in these photos, but turning them to black and white would completely lose the feel and story.

Just a little observation on my photography for today, that's what I love about doing this blog. It helps me to see things in a slightly different way!

Clean and Colorful

There's no reason that everyday tasks can't be special, is there? How about getting clean? In Nice there were many soap vendors with handmade soaps like these. Such pretty colors, such wonderful scents. A wonderful way to add something a little special into the everyday! I couldn't resist, I bought a sampler pack of little soaps as much for the color as for the scent and the usefulness. Well, maybe more for the color. ;)
