Weekly Photo Challenge: GEOMETRY

November 6, 2012 by Patricia Sands Leave a Comment

This week’s photo challenge is guest hosted by Quintin Lake of Quintin Lake Architectural Photography. Click on the link  for more about this week’s theme and his photography tips!

Geometry: This challenge is about the shapes and rhythms that make up the geometry of our world.

Here’s my shot looking through the porches of the change huts at a beach in the beautiful town Forte Dei Marmi on the Italian Riviera. End of season! Nobody does geometric on beaches better than the Italians.

Forte Dei Marmi-PSandsPhotos

Consider this quote from Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908 – 2004), a French photographer, painter and draughtsman, generally considered to be the father of modern photojournalism.

“For me photography is to place one’s head, heart and eye along the same line of sight. It is a way of life. This attitude requires concentration, sensitivity, a discipline of mind and a sense of geometry.”

Head on over to The Daily Post at WordPress to check out more fabulous photos!

Here are a couple of my favourites this week:

How do you see geometry in the world around you? Got a photo? I would love to see it!

      Thanks, Marianne. I found the lines and impeccable uniformity of all the beach setups in that part of Italy simply amazing. Obviously the time it takes to achieve that kind of perfection each day was valued and that’s a rarity in most parts of the world.

      Thanks so much! The subject matter was impossible to resist and I have many more. The Italian beaches in that part of the world are set up with more artistry than I could ever have imagined.
