Weekly Photo Challenge: Lost in the Details

photograph of crossing lines of light and wicker

While having lunch I noticed the intriguing pattern of lines at my table.  The wicker place mat was crossed by the shadows of the blinds, which were themselves crossed by the stitching.  All this seemed like a fun way to make something out of the utterly mundane.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Big

Panoramic photo of the 2012 Richmond Folk FestivalThis panoramic photo was stitched together from 10 separate images taken at the Richmond Folk Festival on October 13, 2012.  There were 6 stages hosting musical acts ranging from Argentina to Ethiopia.  The scene depicted above was on one of the hills as a band named “Septeto Nacional de Ignacio Pineiro” played Cuban music.  We arrived there just after watching Wang Li play the Chinese jaw harp.  Needless to say it was quite a big event.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Happy

Photograph of a smiling woman cyclingCycling and photography are two of my favorite activities.  Both activities make me feel happy and alive.

On October 6 I visited one of the more scenic spots along the Tour de Richmond cycling route to try my hand at photographing cyclists in motion.  This photo really captures the speed and motion of cycling as I wanted to portray it.  I thought it fit in well with this week’s photo challenge because the cyclist looks really happy too!  Click on the photo to see a larger image.
