Meaningful Location! Week 30

 

"Show us a place that's meaningful to you. This could be a mountain peak, or your 40-year old recliner. This could be a place of historical value, or a place that has left a lasting, profound memory. "

 These two photos are just place holders for this week's challenge. The challenge idea was not appealing to me hence could not connect.


Edward's Place, built in 1833 in the Greek Revival style.

Expressions

 Thursday nights, during the summer months, a stage is set up in front of the governor's mansion. The purpose of this stage is to bring the joy of free, live music to the people of Springfield. The event is made possible through the Levitt AMP Grant Awards, a multi-year matching grant opportunity which brings free music to cities with a population of up to 250,000 people. Downtown Springfield Heritage Foundation received $90K, multi-year grant to continue presenting the Levitt AMP Springfield Music Series through 2025.

I decided I needed some candid shots of people. Hence, I drove downtown last Thursday night with a mission...click until you can no longer click.

I chose to concentrate on people's expressions and click with that purpose in mind. 

And so below are some of the photos I was able to capture. 




























































Definitely satieted my appetite for candid shots. 

At least for this week.

Abstract! Week 28

"Abstract photography is all about breaking free from traditional norms and embracing the.. strange/bizarre/ randomness. Abstract is about capturing shapes, colors, textures, and patterns that ignite your imagination."

A book, a magazine, incese, colored lights and some Ps edits resulted in the following shots.
