Vantis

Another day of thinking about a "Food" themed photo and failing to come up with as much as compelling subject, much less a good photo. On my lunch break, walking over to the poke restaurant, I stopped over to shoot these metal flower sculptures at the newly developed Vantis apartment community. Seen through the flowers is my sport club, where I had shot this patio tookapic.com/photos/516840, also on a lunch break and also with an iPhone. I ended up taking a nice photo of some overripe and dried up Peruvian peppercorns on a tree growing along the path. It was a tough call between the two. The composition of the other shot is so minimalistic and clean -- thanks in no small part to the 180mm lens on my Sony, which obliterates the background. I even had the title ready: "Autumn Is in the Air II" -- to build on the theme started by tookapic.com/photos/517801. But in the end I decided this photo is prettier and more informative, even if simple compositions sell better on Tookapic, as they do on other popularity-minded photo sites. Maybe I'll cheat and post it tomorrow if I have nothing else. Truth be told, except for one day, I had many good choices every day since I started my 365 project. Some of them went over to 365project.org/ponzu/365 and others were left in Lightroom. Overall, it's a good problem to have.
