I decided to publish a second post on this week’s theme, this time sharing some architectural shots which were taken looking up, for obvious reasons… 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Look Up
This was a challenging challenge. Not because I never look up, but rather because I look up a lot and have a gazillion shots that fit the bill. Maybe I’ll post several times…? 🙂

Marilyn and some peepers, in Palm Springs, California.

Now, *that* was unexpected… In Dijon, France.

Can’t stop loving this shot. Look how beautifully entangled these trees are…! Los Angeles, California.

Karim Abdul-Jabbar. Someone we all must look up to. At Staples Center, Los Angeles.

Look up and make eye contact. In Venice, Italy.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Opposites
The old and the new blend beautifully in Chicago.
Same in Berlin…

Weekly Photo Challenge: Partners
Michelle, at The Daily Post, asks us to share an image of Partners. “A pair, a trio, a sextet; people, buildings, plants — whatever you choose to shoot, give us subjects that are in tune with one another.”



Weekly Photo Challenge: Curve
“For this week’s challenge, get inspired by the curves around you. From curves in architecture to bends in nature to man-made undulations.



Weekly Photo Challenge: Pure
This week’s Photo Challenge comes from Jen H. at the Daily Post. She asks us to show something “Pure.” “It can be a person, an object, or a moment.”

Weekly Photo Challenge: Numbers
Me, at Number 313, on the Venice Boardwalk. 🙂
Weekly Photo Challenge: Spare
Phew! Made it back to the car, with three minutes to spare! Not great photography but a true story… 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Jubilant
For this week’s photo challenge Michelle invites us to share images that say Jubilant.
This little guy was screaming and giggling so hard, even the savvy Santa Monica Pier seagulls were a bit taken aback by his jubilation.

The pigeons at San Marco Square, in Venice, were not bothered by this girl’s jubilation. 
But there is no bigger expression of jubilation than the roar of adoring soccer fans after a goal.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Face
When I visited the Neue Pinakothek in Munich last month, one painting caught my eye from a distance. It was Ferdinand Hodler‘s “Tired of Life,” a very large oil painting depicting five men sitting on a bench, their posture and facial expressions conveying extreme disillusionment and hopelessness. I decided to photograph each one’s face separately to capture the artist’s vision of what it looks like to have had enough of life. I found these images disturbingly touching.

The painting. “Die Lebensmüden” (Tired of Life), Ferdinand Hodler, 1892.
