Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern

Pattern. Patterns are everywhere. Patterns are sometimes intentional and sometimes accidental. They can be decorative or merely a result of repetition, and often patterns can be in the eye of the beholder to discover them. I find myself especially mesmerized by patterns in tiles when they’re colorful and beautiful. Thailand had plenty, and this photo has both a decorative pattern as well as the repeating elements surrounding the wat.

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Above

From Above. Change your perspective on something. Share a photo of a subject which you shot from directly above. This plate of cheese from the Langhe region in Italy was interesting when I tried to take a picture of it, but when I took it from above, it became even more clear how the honey laid in a neat pile in the center of this circle of cheese and how each wedge had its own identity. For those interested, you started going clockwise with the cheese at 12, and they were all delicious.

Find a subject and instead of taking a picture from in front of, at an angle, to the side, or from behind, take it directly from above!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Up

Up. Up can be a direction, an orientation, or even a movement. In this photo, I was laying down and looking up at two buildings surrounding me in a big hug of sorts, and a plane flew by. On the ground, I was surrounded by crowds of people, but looking up, it was just me and the sky.

Quick Tip: The Best Camera is the One You Have With You

I like to take pictures using my phone. Each photo I take represents a precise moment in my life — a memory, a place, an object — something that captures my imagination or inspires me in some way. While some people fuss about buying the latest cameras and the latest lenses to make the best possible photographs, I’m not one to lug a large camera around. My iPhone is always in my pocket, ready to capture these random moments during my day and my travels, for I’ve found it’s true that the best camera in the world is the one that I have with me.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Kiss

Kiss. There are a lot of ways to capture a kiss, between two people – lovers, family, friends; two animals, or even just the sending or receiving of a kiss. I captured this kiss between two storks in Morocco. I felt lucky to have captured this moment.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Love

 

Love. Can you believe we’ve never done this theme? I won’t give you any hints here. Amaze us with your own interpretation of LOVE. This photo is a testament to other people’s ideas of love: affixing a lock to a bridge in Paris with their love’s name and other information.
