Pixel Darkroom Photography

I’ve always said that you never know what you come across when you shoot a 365 project. Sometimes you leave the camera at home, or think that for a quick minute, you can just leave it parked in the car, but the truth is, the best camera is the one you have with you, and for taking good images you just need a camera ready. I know I could have probably gotten back to this at some point, but I know, that if I hadn’t had the camera with me, I probably would have shot something else today. I like the simplicity of this image, I like the pattern. I love it how the image shows the endurance and maybe even the struggle of the flower, to overcome the cheaply, faded by time and tastelessly painted fence. I like the aesthetic contrast.

I like old cars, and rims, and motorcycles, and new cars, and I like red old wheels with white spokes. I found this, and its pair, at the entrance of a private property where the sign posted said that trespassers WILL be prosecuted. I didn’t want to venture any further. While turning back to the road however, I seemed to have faintly heard a “f*** you idiot” from a speedy driver who wasn’t so enthusiastic about my discovery of the red old cart wheels with white spokes. But maybe it was just me.

With the coming of the spring there are so many things and places that change because of blooming flowers. They all go away so quickly as well. I found these in the same place where I shot my first photo from this project. I like this image because it’s so simple.
