Empty
I used to post something, mostly articles/photo essays or sets of photos, every other day. At that rate last year, according to WP’s Annual Report which I really appreciate; it still summed up to an average of a photo a day throughout the year when I only started blogging at WordPress in July 2011 or for a total of only 6 months during that year.
I wanted to retain that pattern this year – a photo essay or set of photos every other day – but, since my current set of photos are already good for at least the first half of the year and I continue playing with my camera, I realized that the photos that I will be posting will always be at least 6 months old at this rate.
Okay, so what I decided to do is to continue collecting materials for whole articles /photos essays but use some of the more current photos as ‘breakers’ in between the photo essays. That literally converts to a post a day which is a tall order if I was on assignment but is presently doable as I am not on travel. Let’s see what happens when I’m in an obscure place somewhere in the world once again.
So today’s ‘breaker’ is another duotone. I was trying to capture the effect of ambient light on a pile of empty bottles in my yard — a common subject but still I liked the images that came out. Have fun for the rest of the weekend. 🙂

I anticipate the photos. I’m impressed. Bottles have always fascinated me…but mine are usually behind bars…so to speak. 🙂 This is beautiful and captures what is so alluring with bottles…or glass.

love this shot! Sometimes the most simple items can “wow” us with the right techniques. I don’t know what a duotone is….but I like what you did! 🙂

There are people in the world, who are just wrong, and then there are the masses of population that are right, or at the very least they lie in the veil of between. I on the other hand, do not belong to any group. I don’t exist. It’s not that I don’t have substance; I have a body like everyone else. I can feel the fire when it burns against my skin, the rain when it caresses my face and the breeze as it fingers my hair. I have all the senses that other people do. I am just empty, inside.
