Themes

"Photography, for me, is an expression of art. It's noticing the subtleness of the world that we miss in the blink of an eye...captured as a moment in time with a camera lens...it's a memory that's frozen, to revisit time & time again." 

Elizabeth Anderson 

While looking for the answer to "why do you like photography" I found the brilliant quotation above, which makes a great intro to this section. Themes explore a single idea or visual element which can provide us the inspiration or the subject itself:

Personality

Creativity sometimes eludes us and we find ourselves browsing the web, 
scouring the hard-drive and scratching our heads for ideas. Eventually,  
new themes emerge from old pictures, in this case from a show in 2011. 
With celebrity quotes added, Personality is my reading of the theme.

Conservation

"Someone asked me whether I'd rather not upload nice pictures,
if I really want to show the world such a waste? It's important that
someone pays attention."
