Re: Cathedrals of the Earth: Barns and Farm Buildings
well mine were done with 35mm. Actually my 4 images were a very important lesson for me in learning to see. I walked round those buildings for half an hour before I started to see what was there to photograph. Then suddenly there was a flood of possibilities.
Funny how that happens.
Re: Cathedrals of the Earth: Barns and Farm Buildings
"Wabi now connotes rustic simplicity, freshness or quietness, and can be applied to both natural and human-made objects, or understated elegance. It can also refer to quirks and anomalies arising from the process of construction, which add uniqueness and elegance to the object.
Sabi is beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear, or in any visible repairs.
According to Koren, wabi-sabi is the most conspicuous and characteristic feature of what we think of as traditional Japanese beauty and it "occupies roughly the same position in the Japanese pantheon of aesthetic values as do the Greek ideals of beauty and perfection in the West."
