As I passed this couple I couldn’t help notice their bright orange shirts. At the time I was working on a presentation for my photography group about colour and thinking about one type of colour image where a single colour pops out from an image. I walked back, complimented them on their incredibly bright orange shirts and asked if I could take their picture. This is one of 2 shots I quickly snapped before showing it to them and running on to my appointment.
When the sun is strong, which unfortunately has not been often this past summer, there are stark shadows on the grass as the afternoon wanes, making for graphic, natural compositions.
I’m planning to enter a contest themed around the concept of “utopia,” Thomas More’s famous place-name from the Greek “no place” (but punning on “good place”). I have chosen to work on liminal spaces, those that are on the threshold between one place and another, spaces that are not places. Here, I present some recent candidates from my perambulations around Farnham. Click any of the images below (in the browser, not email) to see them larger.

Bruges is famous, of course, for its canals, laden with sightseeing boats.
