Martin’s Blues

Martin Trailer — Thu, 20 Mar 2014 16:32:54 +0000

Catching up with my postings at the Daily Photo Game. Have a look to see the whole collection at http://DailyPhotoGame.com

I was thinking as my turn approached I would shake it up a little. I was thinking of doing “opposites” and I did make some images that included orange, bird food and dry feeling subjects.

They were good, but one in particular would have made some people uneasy, so I was still thinking of new images.

I play racquetball nearly everyday, today is no exception. Upon leaving, it occurred to me, “my” blues were the game ball and my blue car. The racquet and tape guard just give it a little texture.

There is one other blue not shown, and that would be the black and blue bruise when that little blue ball contacts you at speed. None today!

Dead End

My contribution for July 3, 2103 to the Daily Photo Game.

Looking at Bob’s window without a view, I began my process, making a list of words that I perceived from the shot. Texture, wall, window, 100, monochromatic and several more.

While writing, I was reminded of an adventure out to the Salton Sea that included decaying trailers and the many dried fish on the shoreline.

Picked this shot, since he was looking for his last breath, and no where to go, truly a dead end.

My response for June 23, 2014. Check the whole body of work at Daily Photo Game.

Following Bob Stevens’ shot yesterday of the moving water, sand. foam with the different shades of blue and green made me think -painterly, foam, suds, wave, motion, mystery, unknown, colors of blue and green, water.

Using my descriptive words of Bob’s image, I stretched myself and made todays response.

Mom’s Hands

Martin Trailer — Fri, 21 Feb 2014 18:28:14 +0000

For today following Bob’s cobbler’s hands image, I had one in the file that would have worked great.

Kinda of under the weather today, and thought I was good to post it and back to bed.

Had to drop by my Mom’s house and did take the camera with me looking around early this morning for possiblities.

As a photographer we use the people around us as subjects often, my Mother included. So usually when she sees me with a camera, up in shooting position, normally her hands are palms out.

This morning the light was beautiful and I causally asked her to per her hands up like this and boom, she did it. Like I said, normally it is go away, don’t take my picture while running away.

She is 94, lives alone, has a garden and goes for walks just about every morning. Those hands have done so many things, including smacking me and been to so many places. She talks about riding to school on a horse. She and those hands have been and experienced so much. I hope I can say the same at 94. Love you Mom.
