Camera practice

Posted in Uncategorized tagged , , at 9:47 pm by chavisory

I got myself a new camera recently, something I’d been thinking about as I felt increasingly dissatisfied with the limitations of the experience of my iPhone camera, and while it’s been an unexpectedly busy summer and I haven’t had much chance to really practice with it, I got to take it out for a spin through the Kansas City River Market on a recent trip back for 4th of July week! (Plus bonus sunset cloud front from an evening walk home.)

A large, sunlit, orange paper flower under a green awning.

A display of purple, pink, yellow, and blue monarch butterfly magnets

A shelf of pale green air plants displayed in little white clay pots and purple glass vases

A life-size copper sculpture of a blue heron with one wing uplifted

A large ceramic frog, with buggy eyes and decorative floral painting

Part of a blue and white mural painting, of a large cicada among coffee mug, coffee plant, a pigeon, clouds, and mountains

A pink and purple sunset over the black silhouettes of trees and power lines

    Love the photos!!!

  2. The succulents and air plants are really on another level, Chavisory.

    I also enjoyed the flame effect of the orange flower.

    [it did make me a little sad because of a friend’s suffering in late 2016 – orange flowers were her symbolism and talisman].

    The crane was so good with its bronzing and other ageing effects.

    And, oh, that frog!

    These shops with sculpture really do open up the world.

    [Kansas City – that takes in Missouri as well as Kansas itself?]

    [If it is in Missouri – another environmental/ecologist/activist/advocate person in my life has probably seen and loved this market many times over].

      There’s both a Kansas City, Missouri, and a Kansas City, Kansas that straddle the state line! The River Market’s on the Missouri side.
