capturing in prose
Here’s my new Monday photograph series; M3m2 for Monday Morning Minimalism.
I have tried to take a quite simple picture sometimes to find my new horizon of photography but it was always noisy or busy. It may not be a sort of minimalism. I decided to start a short series named M3m2 where I’m going to post minimal photographs with my picture style.
月曜午前の新しいシリーズ M3m2 はこれまで何度か試してきたミニマリズム表現である。必ずしもミニマリズムの枠には当てはまらないものも出てくるはずではあるが、できるだけシンプルな表現を心がけたい。
My English dictionary illustrates the word by an example: Life is but a transient. It seems not so proper sentence to learn the word but a good lesson.
For a long while I believed a French word l’étranger, which was relatively well known in Japan, meant “transient” because its pronunciation sounds similar somehow. Now I know it means stranger but I’m also wondering if it is a same thing. A transient is always l’étranger like a life.

Sometimes bokeh brings special effects on a daily casual photo. A question is how to take it. Of course it is easy to do. Just to open the aperture and to get closer to what you want to focus on, you get nice bokeh. However it may not be what you have imagined. Professional photographers know how to balance between sharpness and bokeh and that’s why they earn living by taking pictures.
It was timely theme for challenge this week because I was wondering how I took a picture having bokeh with my old 100mm lens which produces strong blur in some cases. In other words, how to give an impression of focusing without strong bokeh.

I don’t like anything cluttered but I used to avoid taking pictures of completely organized man-made things because such images often evoke a sort of controlled society unintentionally. However, there’s exceptions always. Above picture of paddy field was taken with the intention to imply an uncomfortable management for the blog post on last Sunday.
In order to balance between positive and negative thoughts, let me show you alternative one.
