Cobbler’s Sign
Here I was particularly drawn by generations. When I say “Generations” I mean the production of offspring. We ain’t doing reproduction okay. If one can look at this picture you will see aging bricks, aging board and also that wooden plank that runs across the picture. These subjects represent Generations, the building itself is one of the oldest buildings in the Missionary area but the Cobbler’s Sign comes recently in the generation of tweeting and smartphones. So all my subjects represent generations, the next and last thing are the rich dark hues presented here in the picture. Hues can give an emotion to a piece of art, be it a painting or a photography and hues can define age.
Pool of Beauty (Dzivarecheno)
This was once a hair salon back in time, I don’t know when it ceased to function but I assume the 1980’s saw the doors of this shop closing and opening.
Against all odds
Shooting against the sun can be a daunting experience, but it is very interesting. This requires not only one shot for still learning photographers and as well as taking down notes of settings used on the camera on each shot. This will give a clear understanding next time you are faced with images with their backs against early morning sun and evening sunsets. Otherwise failure to do so will give you silhouettes.
Rigid
Due to continuous weather patterns not only rocks are affected but also buildings. These bricks are pure clay mixed with water and fired at high temperatures and they get so strong that they can hold a house for the same number of years as concrete bricks. In the picture where a brick is laid upon the other the material gets eaten away at a very slow rate which we can’t even notice.
