May in Sennen Cove. photo: copyright Vivien BlackburnI've got hundreds - no thousands of photos, some of which I occasionally show on my painting blog. Anita has started a photography blog, where she intends to show a picture a day. I thought it was a great idea.
This won't be a newly taken photo every day, most will be from the vast stored archives I have, mixed in with the new.
I've always had an interest in photography, mainly for its own sake as I prefer not to paint from photos. I included photography in my degree - the university had a wonderful state-of-the-art darkroom in the media department.
The same issues interest me in photography as in painting - light, mood, sense of place, texture, colour and pattern. The arrangement of elements or fields and hedges make wonderful abstract patterns.
The first one I share has to be Cornwall. This one taken on an intensely blue day - vivid blue seas and sky and the fisherman surrounded by gulls :>)
I'm first, I'm first!!!! I look forward to your photo blog, Vivien. You're off to a great start. Love the panorama in your header!
ReplyDeleteI'm late to find this but I am so glad that you are doing this, Vivien. Wonderful to see all those photos. Thank you.

How peaceful! And what a calm sea.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to me - reciprocated!
Happy New Year, Vivien!
thank you all :>)
ReplyDeletethat's from Cape Cornwall, near where KJ paints a lot and lives - it had the most sparkling silver and black drama that day with the distant cliffs those misty unreal silhouettes in blues - this picture focusses in on them.
Happy New Year to you all :>)
