Little Vignettes That Grabbed Me

I have the "thirds" grid set up on my camera . . . can you tell? The red with the complementary background was striking. I was fascinated with the scarring of the post in the middle of the "red".







Stalag 17, The Great Escape, Chicken Run and Prison Break . . . all so very thrilling

Barbed wire also makes me think of when I was a kid. If we really waxed our sleds we could sail right into the neighbors' field . . . under the barbed wire . . . hopefully.

Somehow it also makes me think of a crown of thorns . . . sarcastic honor!







I found this net hanging in a tree. I once tried to buy a net from a fisherman in Gopalgonj but he wouldn't part with it. They had become friends. The way the light falls on this particular net was beautiful . . . though not particularly useful. I guess most of its most valuable work is done in the obscure underrealm of the river. Wow . . . did you notice those shadows?







Rickshaws are hard not to love. Just looking at their primary colors and unpretentioius, flambouyant "shajano" is enough to make me happy that they are all around me. Living in Dhaka and traveling frequently to Mymensingh I see my fair share. In Mymensingh they are almost all primarily blue (like this one). in Dhaka they run the gamut, I just returned from Bogra where I saw a few pink ones. I am working at decorating my sons' room with a rickshaw theme. I'll post the pics in the future.







This is the mud wall in a tribal village that we visited. Nature has a funny way of making the most interesting and beautiful vignettes out of decay and neglect. Did you ever notice how beautiful rust is? Rotting banana peels? Burnt desks (ha). . . see earlier post.











These blues at the pool are crazy. Perfect for a monochromatic color scheme. The shapes also add an otherworldly feel to the blues.







Water spots on the poolside. I love grids and this was to great to pass up.







Sunset on the bottom ten inches of my cottage wall at the Heed Guest House in Srimongal. Its curious what you see if you look.







This was a dark signboard alongside the trail on our hiking adventure in Srimongal. I love the Bangla script and wanted to abstract it with some green and blue . . . so I did. Here is my Photoshop rendition.
