Weekly Photo Challenge: Distort

Jo Bryant,

A perfect fit !!

I’ve always seen and heard the world around me with a distorted tilt.

Now I get to show you a little of how it appears to me…

but first…just to set the mood.

Something Magic – Procol Harum

In the centre of the storm
Something magic being born
When the world is torn apart
By the beating of a heart
Like a dam about to burst
Like a drunkard’s crazy thirst
In the centre of the storm
Something magic being born

It’s the dark hours of the soul
When the nightmares take their toll
When the shadows come to mock
Against the ticking of the clock
When the demons of the night
Come like vultures for their bite
In the dark hours of the soul
When the nightmares take their toll

It’s the dawning of the day
Night-time’s panic swept away
When the clouds which seemed so dark
Are exchanged for morning’s lark
When the stars which burnt so bright
Are exchanged for morning light
In the dawning of the day
Nightime’s panic swept away

This shot was just luck...no editing.

Distort

deviation flows

impartial influence forces me to

stumble, sway,

orientation points for

twisted visions my

realization, what lies under

the tarnish

I was born in the land of Banjo Paterson, gum trees, and weather extremes. I am a freelance photographer. I love to make images that make people happy. To capture forever a precious moment. I am also a freelance writer/editor. I live in the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, but still like to claim my Australian heritage. I graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in 2008. I am writing my first novel. I love to write poetry, short stories, and also write for the web. And there is nothing that is on a par with a sunny summer's day spent at Waihi Beach.

  12. I agree with you. Sometimes my favorite photos are the ones that are blurry and people are like that’s too bad it didn’t turn out. They don’t see what I see.

    1. When I first saw it it never occurred to me to feel anything but …yes !!! Then someone said:”But it is blurred.” All I could think was: “Isn’t that great !”

    1. Thank you. I love playing with photos…especially ones that don’t seem to jump out at you at first sight…to see what I can make of them. I guess it is my form of art…
