Lucia in the Sky

Acknowledge the signs life gives you. Next time you are going to perform any ordinary task like walking to the library or cleaning the dishes or catching up with a friend, bring your camera. I want the photographer in you to creep out unnoticed and subtly. Look at life from different angles and capture chiaroscuro inspired moments. Acknowledge the signs life gives you and document them.


thank you parija.

Knots of Wood






Wikipedia says: A knot is a particular type of imperfection in a piece of timber, which reduces its strength, but which may be exploited for artistic effect. In a longitudinally-sawn plank, a knot will appear as a roughly circular "solid" (usually darker) piece of wood around which the roughly parallel fibres of the rest of the parts and rejoins. ------------>





A knot is actually a portion of a side branch (or a dormant bud) included in the wood of the stem or larger branch. The included portion is irregularly conical in shape (hence the roughly circular cross-section) with the tip at the point in stem diameter at which the cambium (where plant tissues originates) was located when the branch formed as a bud.
