For wabi-sabi Wednesday, I thought I would share two very contrasting views of beauty.

One conventional to get your attention and the other(s) for you to enjoy in a much slower way ๐Ÿ™ƒ

This is my wabi sabi โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ‘‡

Classy Hamilton, awesome shots again๐Ÿ’ฏ

Thank you, Ritchie ๐Ÿ™

Nice Trevor!! I really like this watch!

The simplicity of your first shot evokes one of the key tenets of Wabi Sabi and how it celebrates humble tranquility.

I also like your interpretation of the passing of time with your second shot

ยท

Just fantastic

Thanks, John it has elements for sure but due to not having enough light this morning, I couldnโ€™t quite get the shot I wanted and so a more traditional image. I will save that idea for another brighter day ๐Ÿ˜œ

My โ€˜pendulum clockโ€™ shots were very fun to do.

I don't know, Trevor.. I kind of liked the simplicity of your first shot. I fear we may be getting away from the humble concepts of Wabi-S by trying too hard.. myself included. I'm going to give this some thought for next week.

An open timed shutter makes for great experimentation. I remember trying this technique some years ago when I tried writing in the dead of night with a torch and an open shutter. Great fun ๐Ÿ˜Ž

ยท

WOW... Just stunning Trevor! Your imagination and photography is amazing. ๐Ÿ˜ Enjoy your day my friend.

ยท

I really like your wabi sabi painting!! That was a great idea.

Have a wonderful day Trevor.

So beautiful. I wonder how happy they are?

I'll bet they have an inner calm. We have an electric storm going on at the moment and my phone signal is really poor .. so no gif replies from me ๐Ÿ˜ž

Love this Hamilton ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Will do. As soon as I get out trying a few out ill be looking for this one.

I like that last picture. However, seeing this one apart I wouldnโ€™t have guessed it was yours: no bokeh๐Ÿ˜…

It made me remember a photo I took on a trip through China lots of years ago:

Thank you, James. Itโ€™s a process and Iโ€™m no expert. Finding joy/beauty in the simple and unconventional is a great way at looking at things (in my humble opinion). Have a wonderful day too ๐Ÿค๐Ÿซก

I whole heartedly agree!

Thatโ€™s a beauty of a photograph. Both lost in each other. No phone. No distractions. Thatโ€™s wabi sabi.

Thank you for your words Trevor.

Did you notice? The one on the right is carrying her teaโ€ฆ I really like that detail โ˜บ

I wasnโ€™t sure what was being held but youโ€™re right. I love the care and the historyโ€ฆ Imagine having a love like that. I guess this was also what compelled you to take the photo?

I asked my wife to take a picture because I was busy eating ๐Ÿ˜so you spotted correctly.

In that moment in time my wife work was on a old people care centre. So old people and their needs were very present in our lives. Seeing how well fit and healthy were the ols peopin China alwas a great lesson. That was what drove me to take that photo really.

That Hamilton is classy and lit but the idea of this concept and the effects of those pics drive me crazy ๐Ÿคฏ
