The Bar-Fly observes circles of influence - # 09/135

Isn't it strange how some people are "in" and some are definitely "out"? "Nobody ever tells me what's going on". "I've watched people going up and people going down; but they couldn't see it, or control it".

It's a long time since I did a decent "Bar-Fly", and I don't rate this one very high in the series. Bar-Flies are spontaneous but, actually, they aren't. They have to come together in a mysterious unplanned way, where numerous components just suddenly "fit". Like "circles of influence" in the cosmos and in human affairs, lots of other things have to happen in a precise way, and actually they are highly complex and organised forms of chaos.

The shape of light - # 09/133

I'm really sorry about yesterday's incident. I can't think what came over me.

The macaroon and the coffee cup - # 09/132

Playing about with my "Lightroom 2.5" I produced this. Now I feel unnerved and disconcerted. Why? At least I did not do this on an iPhone.

Saturday Night and Sunday Morning - # 09/131

Don't you just love the tonality of my kitchen early in the morning? (I was also playing around with the 300mm focal length).

Don't worry: musings on B&W are finished (I just needed to make some personal explorations, for my own benefit).
