Where and how do we find subjects for our photography? When I walk to the supermarket I constantly look around me, Maybe I will see something special, beautiful, or strange. Sometimes I take my camera and just wander through the city. But it's to hard to find subjects in Amsterdam, at least, the kind of subjects I like to capture.
I sometimes think I am to much preoccupied with a certain type of subject. Metal surfaces, old wood, interesting stone, they are becomming a habbit.
I want to find poetry in the world arround me.
I would like to ask my friends here on DA how they go about finding their subjects. I am grateful for all comments.
Cheers, a toast to all my friends.

Photo Blog
For all of you who want to build a personal photo blog: I am using WordPress at the moment, in combination with the plugin YAPB (Yet Another Photo Blog). I find it very useful, and easy to work with.

Stuff as dreams are made on
We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare
For several years now, I am thinking about a website about music and art that has some kind of religious meaning. Not a specific religion, but a religious way of looking at reality. Every time I think about it I stumble at the first hurdle: describing the website to myself, finding words to express what the website is about, finding a name or title for the website. I alway end up with these words by Shakespeare, from The Tempest.

Folders
Maybe it has been there for a long time, but I recently discovered the dA feature of creating folders in my own gallery. I like it a lot....

I am trying a new image gallery system for my website: Coppermine.
Anybody else out there who is using it?
Curious what you think.

Sometimes I have a preconceived notion of what I want to do, but most of the time I see something and like someone said before, it feels right.
Once I get something, it's all about shapes, patterns, repetition, colour, subject, movement, and balance. Then the photograph becomes a harmony of all or some of these elements. The mixture would be influenced by everything that has happend to me in my life up until that point.
