Weekly Photo Challenge: Texture

This photo is a response to the Weekly Photo Challenge “texture” theme presented by the folks at The Daily Post. Cat fur (that still attached to a cat, specifically) is one of my favorite soft textures. I hope you like the photo.

Crane Textures

“You’d be surprised how little I knew even up to yesterday.”
― Jack Kerouac

I thought I’d be sharing photos from yesterday’s 4th of July festivities in Kissimmee, but today had everything in store for me BUT editing photos. So in the meantime, I’ll share this recent photo of a Florida Sandhill crane. I really like the variety of textures spanning its head and neck. Hopefully you will like it, too.

Texture and A Peel

“Abstract art is a fundamental distrust of the theory of reality concocted by the eyes.”
— Robert Brault

They are removing the paint from the recreational station at the nearby park. They coated the equipment with a paint stripping fluid and left it to peel away. I happened to arrive after the peel had completed, which I found had some abstract appeal of its own. The early evening light was doing its part to contribute to the image, when I suddenly heard the peal of a nearby church bell. Noting that Carl Jung himself would have been impressed by all this synchronicity, I took my cue and brought the camera to my eye. Enjoy.

Cornered

“I get obsessed by little nerdy things in my corner that no one else is interested in. I have that nerd factor in my character.”
— Björk

This one’s easy: the contrast of color, textures and shadow caught my eye and reeled me in. Enjoy.

A Creation of Twisted Textures

“To every Armageddonist, every earth lover must keep saying with all the sincerity and affection we can muster, “May God make this world as beautiful to you as it has been to me.”
― David James Duncan, God Laughs & Plays; Churchless Sermons in Response to the Preachments of the Fundamentalist Right

[Note: Following the publication if this blog post, I learned the plant in the photograph is called a Ghost Plant.]

Redwood Pinecone

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity . . . and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
— William Blake (1757-1827)

Constructing an Abstract

Eventually, these lines, shapes, textures and values will be morphed into the new Federal Courthouse building in downtown Salt Lake City. At this point in the construction effort, however, I’m enjoying the abstract art the workers are creating.

Textures Of Yellowstone

I love to explore textures with my camera. Last year, I took a trip to Yellowstone National Park and had a great time photographing some of the naturally occurring textures that can be found in this amazing location.

Today’s post features two of my favorites images from that trip.

“I search for the realness, the real feeling of a subject, all the texture around it…
I always want to see the third dimension of something…
I want to come alive with the object.”
– Andrew Wyeth

The Machines

“The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.”
Oscar Wilde, 1854 – 1900
