The Small Details
24/05/2012
It's easy to overlook the small details … those little things largely unnoticed. Often they're the things I find most rewarding to capture … the pictures that bring intimacy to an otherwise mundane scene.
A piece of art, so in love with this image. The black and white makes it all the more dramatic.
Thank you Kathryn … glad you like. I went with monochrome because the texture and shape conveyed so much more than the colour did … I find this quite often 🙂
I really like what you show and your work in general but I do not speak very good English, I do not always translate your explanations and I sometimes have trouble finding your last picture to comment. But I’ll get there!
Thank you Marie. I find the breadth of your work quite stunning. As for finding the latest post … yes, I am working on that to improve it for first time visitors 🙂
I totally agree… Small detail are magic…
Thanks Pascale 🙂
the little things that noone else notices (well, I’m sure someone else sees them but I like to think that I’m the only one who does!) those tiny details that lend insight into true character and context.
Makes me smile, dear and beautifully shot.
Thanks Elena. Always lovely to see someone smile 🙂
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLOG – JUST THE RIGHT PICTURE WITH JUST THE RIGHT NUMBER OF WORDS. VERY WELL DONE!!!
Succinct is the new black.
Ha! Took me a while to work out what the picture was of – there is such movement and energy in the photo – very impressive 🙂
Thanks Gabe … I like seeing the small bits and pieces that lend everything else context. Sometimes they exist only for you and its hard to decide sometimes whether to try and capture them or simply experience them for the beautiful and fleeting things they are.
I love the energy and the unposed impression. And the small things are often the important ones. Thank you.
Most definitely unposed … most fleeting and transitory in truth. Thank you 🙂
I so agree, Geoff, and this is such a great exampple to make your point! 🙂
Thanks Ginnie 🙂
Absolutely beautiful. I’m guessing this small detail is a very precious one! 🙂
Thanks Judith. More precious to her parents methinks but precious nonetheless 🙂
I totally agree with you. beautiful picture.
by the way, I keep dropping of your email list. am I doing something wrong?
Thanks. I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong … I redid the subscription stuff this morning after I mangled it while trying to improve it … you know how it goes…
Hopefully you’ll have received a couple of emails today letting you know you’re subscribed and that a new post was put up. Do let me know if you haven’t!
Un oeil d’expert.
La force du monochrome.
L’art de rendre les choses simples et belles.
Toute la difficulté de sublimer des détails que personne ne prête plus attention.
Au final, une photo de toute beauté…
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad you see what I have done with the eyes you have 🙂
This photograph has been resting in the forefront of my thoughts for days. It’s an example of the dialogue that has been surfacing in your posts and mine: the seen and unseen, the noticed and unnoticed. But even more than that observation, the image that you have recorded is a perfect instance of how essential light is to a well-crafted photograph. To delve even farther you have created beauty from the simplest of everyday images, which is a theme I not only salute but also know to be true. We miss so much in our visually-saturated world. Bravo for seeing the aesthetic of a seemingly ordinary scene. Thanks, Sally
Sally, thank you. You’re right about our visually saturated world … it feels like a flood at times. I think humanity as a species has long been setting about busying itself to to the point where we no longer take the time to notice those little things … well before we had the capacity to access so much information too!

Fantastic detail and great effect! Beautiful and original!
Have a nice day.
