Since my last post where I talked about the problems I—and the whole media business as such—is facing, I have received so much encouraging and positive feedback, I want to thank you all for such a wonderful response. I have used the week since to get started working on my new projects and feel good about it. However, it’s always a little scary to throw yourself into deep water. Either you learn to swim or you sick. I plan to do the former, but I guess this week’s Instagram is telling for my situation or my feeling.
Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week. It’s a way for me to show photography that usually is quite different from my regular work. Except for the technical details beneath the pictures are displayed without any comments (well I guess I gave some comments this week), hoping they will stand on their own. But I still very much appreciate any comments you may have.
Facts about the photo: The photo was taken with my cell phone processed in the app Snapseed.
Otto–don’t sweat the small stuff?! That’s the first thing I thought of when I saw this photo. You are so clever.
I like that interpretation. Thanks, Lois.
Otto, I’m sure you can swim and probably you’ll enjoy the swim as well 🙂
Now the picture telling your feelings…hmm I see something not so clear, but I also see art in it!
Don’t forget, you are an artist !
robert
I try to keep the artist alive. Thank you, Robert.
Lykke til – jeg går ut fra at bildet var tatt rett ut vinduet en av de siste dagene? 🙂
Hva får deg til å tro det? Synes du det har regnet i Bergen i det siste?
I love the abstract and simplicity of this photo. Snapseed is still one of my go to favorite apps!
I like Snapseed a lot, too. Thank you, Mary.
Nice!
Thank you, Ruth.
There is always light, even in the darkest places….
If we can take a photo, there has to be light. 🙂
Well, yes…….
“Happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn the light on”
Not only happiness but also art. Love ur photography
Thank you. The quote is a good one.
Ur welcome
Change is scary… The devil you know is trying to hold on to you but…there are Angels out there!
Your blog is so important to so many…to me too…scary in itself I presume!! Slay the devil.
I am ready to slay a devil or two. Thanks for the lovely words, Paula.
I think this shows you’re on the right track, in spite of the “tears” because it is a strong expression of your feelings – you are very good at that, and it will serve you well! Best of luck to you as you grow into new practices.
Thank you so much.
The same rain that obscures our view of the world nourishes the world — who knows what unseen growth is taking place?
Rain is certainly necessary, but sometimes it may be a little too much. 🙂
Glad to hear that you’re entering into new projects! I wish you all the best with them, Otto 🙂 As for the photo, is it of a shower glass door or a window? Inquiring minds want to know 😉
No, it’s a regular window facing upwards. Thank you for the comment, Christy.
Ah, thanks for clarifying! Have a nice week ahead, Otto
You, too. 🙂
At times like this I get out my quote books and read my favorite ones to help me through. For me Winter has come full force and it is very cold. Always the hardest time of the year but that’s fully I ski and run outside so it helps me get over the cold and gray days!
I actually enjoy winter. So I wish it would soon arrive with lots of snow and cold days. As you may image I love skiing and other winter activities. 🙂
I feel like my cell phone is letting me down after seeing this shot. Beautiful!
Thank you. But keep trusting your phone. 🙂
Créative photo, very nice Otto
Thank you, Roland.
Otto, you are a very good “swimmer” !!!!!
I am doing the best to learn, at least. Thank you, Cornelia.
Fascinating image Otto! Love it! 🙂
Thank you, Adrian.
That is interesting image and I like it. For some reason, this is an image triggers the feeling of satisfying thirst even I do not actually drink anything. It just gives the felling to you. Great capture.
It’s always great to know when a photo triggers a reaction. Thank you for the feedback.
