Be Inspired and Learn Something New

Eastern religions have long associated the cycle of life as a circular wheel of becoming, with no end or beginning, only cycles of death and rebirth.

Over many lifetimes, the same cycles repeating, each new turn an opportunity to do things differently.

Photography is also rooted in cycles.

We revisit the same scenes at different times, documenting changing light on different days. We photograph our favorite places closer to home, capturing them through the metaphoric death and rebirth of the changing seasons.

Long ago, in one of my early photo classes, our teacher suggested a creative exercise to select a single subject and photograph it in many different ways over a period of a few weeks.

By changing our perspective, we learn to see the same old things in a whole new way.

As for creating some photos for the prompt this week, the world if full of circular patterns in nature and beyond.

Seek them out and share some pics.

Last Week’s Prompt Photos for “Solitude”

Before hopping on to the busy circle of life, lets take a moment to appreciate the quiet stillness of solitude through last week’s photos.

It is always interesting to see how similar ideas come to different people. Many of the photos featured lone figures in vast settings, often staring out at the sea. The majority of photos took a positive view of solitude as a state being alone in tranquility, though there were some images of the darker aspects of solitude. One that hit me in particular was this image and story of a captive orangutan at a zoo in Mexico City from
