Geometry of Life

nobody@ipernity.com (William Sutherland) — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 22:44:48 +0000

Mamaroneck, NY

Taken with a Motorola® Android Smart Phone 50 MP Quad Pixel camera. Digitally edited using CoPilot® (Microsoft).

Geometry of Life captures the intersection between the soft, biological curves of the tulip and the rigid, industrial lines of the wall and drainage pipe. It elevates the image from a simple floral study to the profound reality that how nature occupies a structured world.

In this minimalist composition, the organic form of a red tulip serves as a vibrant vertical axis against the horizontal plane of white stucco wall. The composition is defined by spatial tension; the soft, saturated volume of the flower is balanced by the empty, dark circumference of the drainage pipe. By stripping the environment of color, the image exposes the underlying architecture of the scene, transforming a chance encounter with a "found object" into a deliberate exploration of shape, line, and placement. It is an observation of how the fluid geometry of nature asserts itself within the rigid, monochromatic structures of a man-made landscape.

With two competing focal points (the red tulip and the dark drainage pipe) that break conventional rules, this photograph is a study in direct perception that captures the quiet intensity of a single biological and non-biological form, each isolated by negative space.

It was just before sunset, yesterday, and an aeroplane passed over. There was no sun at my altitude, but the plane and its trail were lit by the low sun. The trail cast a couple of shadows on cloud layers above itself.

Ich habe diese 3 Pfannen an meiner Lagerfeuerstelle wieder entdeckt,Jugendliche haben sie da wieder mal liegen gelassen,zuerst war nur 1 Pfanne schon längere Zeit draussen,die mich aber nicht angesprochen hat,als Motiv,als ich jetzt wieder draussen meine Pause machte,waren es 3 Stück,die auf der Feuerstelle lagen und nach längeren Anschauen haben mich mal gleich die Stiele interessiert,wo ich dann ein paar Aufnahmen machte und auch diese Schrift habe ich gleich mit einen SW Look versehen :))
Pip1-6: Detailaufnahmen der Pfannen

I rediscovered these three pans at my campfire site. Some teenagers had left them there again. At first, only one pan had been out for a while, but it didn't appeal to me as a subject. When I took my break outside again recently, there were three of them lying on the fire. After looking at them for a while, I was immediately interested in the handles, so I took a few photos of them and also added a black and white look to the writing on them. :))
Pictures 1-6: Close-ups of the pans

J'ai redécouvert ces trois casseroles près de mon feu de camp. Des adolescents les avaient encore laissées là. Au début, une seule était restée dehors un moment, mais elle ne m'avait pas inspirée. Récemment, lors d'une pause au camp, j'en ai trouvé trois sur le feu. Après les avoir observées un instant, j'ai été immédiatement intriguée par les manches. J'ai donc pris quelques photos et j'ai aussi transposé l'inscription dessus en noir et blanc. :))

Not the comet

At 4:30 this morning, I was out wandering around my part of Town, looking for a view of the new comet in Pegasus.

The moon had started up and the sky wasn't very dark, nor clear, so I couldn't even find Pegasus. From one place I was looking too far left, from another I was looking too far right, and somewhere else I was looking too high. And street light intruded everywhere.

Oh well. I still took some pictures I liked.

------------------------
This picture shows the constellation Perseus and some of Andromeda. The brightest star of Perseus is Marfak and that can be seen near the left side of the picture, not far above the top-most wire. (I wish I'd known that this morning at 4:30 -- I might have used that knowledge to actually see the comet!)

This picture was shot at a high ISO, ISO3200, and that enabled a fairly fast shutter speed (1/3 sec) at f/2.8. If I had used the auto exposure in the camera it would not have been handholdable (about 12 seconds I think) but I pushed the +/- compensation down five stops to get one-third second. The picture was taken at the wide end of my zoom lens, at 40mm.

In converting this picture from its colour original to this b&w, I chose a single colour to filter it though and, among other processing stuff, that helped brighten the stars against the hazy sky.

Dies ist ein altes Messer aus dem Besteck meiner Eltern. Mein Vater hat dieses Messer immer wieder geschliffen, sodass nur noch diese schmale Klinge übrig blieb. Selbst der Schriftzug ist abgewetzt. Der Griff ist aus Silber.
Ich benutze es nicht, es ist nur eine gute Erinnerung... und ich hör immer noch das Gerausch vom wetzen.

P.S. Sorry for replying to comments at odd hours and for rarely checking out photos. There are two reasons for this: a bad connection and being in a serious time crunch. Thanks for the views and comments. Wishing everyone a great week.
