PHOTO OF THE DAY: PAREIDOLIA

Posted on April 20, 2021April 20, 2021 by rosi

For some “pareidolic” reason, this seems like an apparition of the Virgin. Ranunculus fluitans river water crow feet

PHOTO OF THE DAY: UNCLOSED CIRCLES

Posted on April 14, 2021April 14, 2021 by rosi

A greyhound’s tail curls resembling the unclosed circles in the wrought iron fence design behind it–silly resemblances and other curiosities in this world… Makes for an exciting life, though.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: BOTANICAL ABERRATION

Posted on May 23, 2019April 14, 2021 by rosi

There is a secret hole in the fence which divides the city from the surrounding farm landscapes. Dirt paths meander over rolling hills for miles, really great for hikes with the camera. In the spring along these paths, the native hawthorn bushes bloom. Their white flowers catch the sunlight creating what seems aberration.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: ILLUSIVE SHREDS

Posted on May 18, 2019May 28, 2019 by rosi

I was walking around Gijón when I came upon this beautifully layered transparency-meets-opacity-meets-reflection-meets-grime. I proclaim this otherwise huge aesthetic failure to successfully scrape off adhered propaganda on a dirty window “abstract expressionist art”.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: CAUTION STEEPLE

Posted on May 16, 2019May 28, 2019 by rosi

Roaming around in Luarca, I found this traffic sign so perfectly placed next to the Hermitage of Nuestra Señora La Blanca. What normally means “Caution: Road Narrows Ahead,” the signage takes on a new significance. (Obvious: The graphic simulates the shape of the hermitage steeple.)

PHOTO OF THE DAY: RAIN

Today was rainy, and I was in a funk. The cement wall offered me a rainbow.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: ESCHER KINDA

Posted on April 8, 2019May 28, 2019 by rosi

Walking around Sepulveda on a nice sunny day, I came upon this set of staircases and their high contrast shadows. Kind of reminded me of M.C. Escher.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: OCTOPUS

Posted on April 3, 2019April 3, 2022 by rosi

When I saw the uncooked octopus on the granite counter, water boiling next to it to prepare a Galician-style pulpo a feria, I immediately thought of photographer Sandy Skoglund’s Luncheon Meat on a Counter.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: HEART

Posted on February 13, 2019April 3, 2022 by rosi

Must be love is all I see. No smoking sign on the bus warped by draping curtain folds.

PHOTO OF THE DAY: FROZEN PAPER

Posted on February 10, 2019May 13, 2019 by rosi

I was thinking of one of my favorite paintings, Suprematist Composition: White on White (1918) by Kashmir Malovich when I cut five paper squares and arranged them over ice on the asphalt. https://www.moma.org/collection/works/80385
