Some Pictures I’ve Liked volume 38

Oh, I’m behind on my lists of pictures–I’ve selected them, but I haven’t pulled them together. Kindergarten is almost as exhausting for me as it is for the boys…

Chilly waters seem to be a theme in this set, I’m not really sure why.

• brighton beach from apparently nothing; there’s something especially cold and still about a winter beach.
• scarista bay from Absolutely Nothing; I like the way the drama of the waves and sky are accentuated by the slight tilt of the photograph.
• along the water from Mike’s Right Brain; wonderful mist and fog.
• #239 from the streets are alive; there’s such playfulness in the little girl’s coy hide-and-seek with the camera.
• peggy’s cove, again from LEVITATION; wonderfully rich colors.
• In the golden sun from HELLO; wonderful blur and buzz.
• dress accordingly from gotreadgo; the “goofy filter” works magic in contrastic sharpness and blur.
• september 03, 2006 from a visual notebook; the bristles on the seedheads seem almost tangible.
• sunflower from .mused; the contrast between the dark center and the flaming petals makes this image for me.
• Choco from polom.org; nothing says warmth and safety like a mug of cocoa.
• worship from boxman; great composition.
• Capilla. San Pedro Carcha, Guatemala from Nimla; a classic street photograph in the Cartier-Bresson style–it might have been taken any time from 1900 to earlier this morning.
• Sauna-ilta from graciform; simple and spare.
