Reflections through the Seasons
On one lovely sunny autumnal day, I was searching for a good colourful spot to photograph... and found a nice one. It was a little charming garden filled with play of autumnal colours and framed into golden foliage. When I looked for a better position to capture it I suddenly saw its reflections in the building across the road. Being on a wave of triptych and diptych I liked it immediately :-) It was like peeping in at another dimension!
So, what was found by accident has become an interesting spot to observe changes through the seasons! I have completed 52 weeks, the whole year, capturing the reflected garden.
Just to give you a taste of what it was like, I have chosen one for each season to show here.
Note: White lines are the gaps between the mirrored windows on this building!
Autumn
Winter
Spring
Summer
You are welcome to look through the whole 52 weeks at my Flickr gallery, where each picture accompanied my insights and comments of my Flickr friends. You also may like to see it as a slide show to feel these seasonal changes.
When just one week remained till the end of my year project, I decided to take a good use of sunny spells and enjoy the garden literally, putting myself into my reflection spot. Unlike other weeks, I have used the tripod and kind assistance of my husband, so the credit for the image goes to our team work. I thought of this scenario for the final week of this project... but why wait - it can be too rainy soon :-) So here I am, saying "Hello" to you all!
On the grand finale of my project I have revealed some "behind the scene" details on how I photographed those reflections and some views from the garden itself. You may see the grand finale here part 1 , part 2 and part 3.
Thank you for watching and I am wishing you to see around and notice wonderful things in life :-)
Enjoy!

I got the Sun
A story through the images... uniting poetry and photography.
...It all started on a sunny day of 24 August 2008... The day was perfect, I was basking in the sun at the late afternoon, absorbing the sun and playing with its rays... On a moment when I did a occasional pass with my hand, the light sparkled and magic began...
First I got a tiny light...
I cherished him just so
I got the Sun
We played till night!
And then I let him go…
So on next dawn, we played again
And every morn since then
Our favorite game is “hide and seek”
“I tag you”
“You are it”
Now, celebrating the second anniversary of this series, I have to say that our playful relations with the Sun have happy continuation, which reflects in all my work. Thank you Sun, the mighty celestial body, for all your magic! :-)
Wishing everyone lots of sunny magic!

Spring. In Work.
'My Magic Brush' series...
Painting the season with my magic brush :)
This is so much work now... to help flowers and leaves :-)
Oh, yes, I spotted these lilac leaves, growing before my very eyes... so I took my magic brush to help it a little :-)
about the picture: it contains the macro photograph of the leaves, I did on Sunday; the selectively applied texture from Max; and the photograph of my hand with my magic brush, of course :-)
GOOD NEWS:
My work "Spring. In Work" was selected for PHOTO-OP, a Juried Photography Exhibition. The show was at John B. Aird Gallery, Toronto , Ontario, Canada, September 3 – September 25, 2009.
This was super!
Happy Eternal Spring everyone! :-)
