Lens-Artists Challenge #351: Books

Last week Ritva hosted the Challenge, but I wasn’t able to really get started on it before the next Challenge was announced. Her theme was, ‘Books‘. ‘For [this] Challenge’, she said, ‘… I invite you to embrace your inner book lover and share your most creative photographic interpretation of anything related to books’.

I thought about this a lot, because nowadays I can’t really pretend to really be a ‘book lover’. I used to be an avid reader, but moving to Portugal, I stopped buying so many books, and since Brexit … well it’s just become far too expensive — and difficult. I’d sooner spend time collecting unusual cameras, and reading about how to fix them or learning new techniques. So I thought I would just present an image from the books in my collection of one of my favourite authors.

Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can po3st their images during the week. If you want to know more about the Challenge, details can be found here, and entries can be found on the WordPress reader using the tag ‘Lens-Artists’.

If you are on Mastodon, you can now follow this blog directly. Just go to Mastodon and follow the ‘Snapshot’ WordPress account at @keithdevereux.wordpress.com. All new posts will be automatically updated to your timeline.

J'ai perdu l'instant dans l'aube des mots. J'ai perdu l'instant, inconstant, friable, sans devenir. J'ai perdu l'instant, comme tous les autres avant lui, comme tous ceux qui adviendront par la suite. Immensité éphémère qui trône dans le souvenir, comme une tombe fleurie dans un coin de lumière. C'était l'instant perdu, qui s'est donné la vie en disparaissant du regard. Et je suis resté là, tremblant, devant ce qu'il restait de vide, du trop plein de ce qu'on n'appréhende pas. Qu'on ne pourra jamais car éternellement renouvelé. Et j'ai perdu l'instant d'un battement de paupière, d'une fraction de seconde, derrière l'œil de l'objectif, et le clac métallique du rideau qui se ferme a joué son rôle de guillotine, l'instant perdu ne s'est plus relevé.

This week I'm sharing some recent work that in one way or another plays around with reality. Here's a #multipleexposure, moving the camera each time and layering in Photoshop.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. The Tea Room Cafe was always busy, so catching it in this sleepy moment felt really special! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. Sacks is an incredible part of the Petaluma landscape, acting as a perpetual fundraiser for hospice care and grief counseling. They also make an amazing shot in the morning! Probably my favorite shot I took the whole weekend. #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

A photograph showing the striking color difference between the rising sun, a lone streetlamp, and the mildly-illuminated storefront of Sacks.

I don't know what this church was, but it cut a striking figure early in the morning against the brightening sky! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

A photograph of a early morning sleepy street with a church spire framed against the lightening sky.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. I loved the different light happening here as a truck unloaded in the wee hours of the morning; I'm just lucky it came out as well as it did! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

A night photograph of a truck unloading on an empty street. The dark blue sky is illuminated by a yellow streetlamp and the light blue artificial light inside the truck.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. Regretfully, I didn't get to visit Stellina Pronto while they were open, but I did hear great things about them! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure

A night photograph of a restaurant called Stellina Pronto.

I was in Petaluma, CA, for North Bay Python (#nbpy) recently and took advantage of my east-coast-ness by going out at 5:30am local time to take some pictures. This is one of the coolest bookstores ever; there's so much cool stuff here and the staff is awesome. If you're ever in the area, you should definitely check out Copperfield's! #photography #sonyalpha #multipleexposure
