Well.....I have been sitting around home today with absolutely no motivation whatsoever! I think that the hayfever that has caught up with me this spring is sucking all my energy out of my body!
Possibly, the fact that our daughter was up at 4am to drive the 7 hours to Wagga Wagga to visit her long distance boyfriend may also have had something to do with it! Thankfully, she has arrived safely!
I had to find something to do to that required little expenditure of energy (Yes! a Minimalist activity!) and, decided I would review some of the photos that I have snapped over the years. After scrolling through them, viewing some with pride, and also shaking my head & chuckling at some of my earlier work, I saw that some of my work could be considered minimalist.
There are many facets to creating a Minimalist Photograph. The creation of an empty space, using aperture to create significant depth of field, positioning through composition, the use of colour, shape, lines and textures, all of these can be used to highlight the subject. The main object I guess, is that there are no other distractions that will take away from the main subject.
Hope you enjoy these! At the bottom of this status, there is a link to more Minimalist Photos in slide show.
