IN A ROW

Wouldn’t be nice to have all of one’s ducks or at least matches in a row? Not very feasible except in my photography. I need some peaceable time after my crazy week and wish all visitors the same.   ©Paula Borkovic Prompted by B. Huberman’s order.

BLACK & WHITE SUNDAY: AFTER AND BEFORE Y1-02

Every Sunday I publish a photo challenge in black and white that I call Black & White Sunday. I usually come up with a fresh theme for it, but once a month I publish a recurrent (monthly) theme: after and before where you are supposed to show the same  photo, regardless of the subject, in both monochrome and colour. This is a way of…

LIGHT ME UP

 “Each of us is born with a box of matches inside us, but we can’t strike them all by ourselves” (original: ” Mi abuela … decía que todos nacemos con una caja de fósforos adentro, pero que no podemos encenderlos solos…”)- Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate       This is my offering for A GOOD MATCH (weekly photo challenge).

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: 2016 RETROSPECTIVE

  It’s the time of year when we usually take stock of our life, hoping to make it better in some way and looking forward to the forthcoming year expecting it to bring solutions to our troubles. That’s what I did. I started by taking stock of my images in 2016. You know what they say “an image is worth a thousand words”. If…

THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: MINIMALISM

Some may argue that it is not the right time of year to tackle this theme with all over the top festivities going on in the eve of forthcoming holidays, but I hope that you will still humour me and show minimalism in photography. If you don’t feel like participating in this challenge, just to remind you that we still have one more Thursday’s…

Black & White Sunday: Artificial Light

The theme of today’s black and white photo challenge is artificial light. You have a week to respond. I will be very busy next week, so there will be no challenges, and I will not be challenging you on Christmas or New Year’s Day which means that the next Black and White Sunday is in 2017. I will keep you posted on future events…

Thursday’s Special: Conceptual Photography

What is conceptual photography? It is photography of a concept i.e. idea, idea  that is illustrated and conveyed through a photograph. It is more about the message of a photo than about what is in the photo. Some artists intend to be clear in their messages, in illustration of their ideas, and some do not care if they will be understood or misinterpreted.  You…

Black & White Sunday: Close up / Macro

Today’s theme is close-up / macro in monochrome. I admit that my original looks more attractive than this metallic conversion, but I like it anyways. It’s a busy and exhausting Sunday for me so I will be brief. Your deadline is next Saturday.  Wishing you all a great week ahead! If you want to participate in Black & White Sunday photo challenge, make sure…
