The Climb
October Project: "Lines That Don't Like Being Lines"
Nikon D200, Nikkor 85mm f1.8D
The month is almost done and I know it is a difficult topic, but are there any more contributions to the October Project? SteveR? SteveF? Anyone else who promised to try it? Also, I would like suggestions for November please. :)

Awesome Abstract! I am with Steve, still wondering what it is - but I love it.
I am also excited to see you used the 85mm 1.8 I ordered one last night.

Dockside Abstract
As Lea alluded to, this month's project is severely difficult, but on the other hand, it is also extremely interesting to see what everyone comes up with.
All great stuff so far, I might add. :)
In this one, the shadow lines appear to follow the odd shape of this dockside line anchor (I don't know the proper name for these things).

# LINES THAT DON'T LIKE BEING LINES #
Nikon D7000 18-105
After being sick for the second time in two weeks I forced myself out of the steroid induced coma I was feeling this morning in search of fresh air and a contributing picture to this months project that wasn't an accident. At first I was a little thrown off. I mean we started out of the gate with the beauty and purpose of Fly Fishing. Where was i gonna find that? Turns out Quiet waters park was a perfect place to find my own conflicting lines with purpose.

Warren said in one of the emails that this project was called a "riddle".. about the lines that don't like being lines. And I think that is severely true. After trying the topic myself last weekend, I realized it is a great struggle to find these lines that aren't lines and made me even question what IS a line. I love that there have been so many pictures posted already, reshaping and playing off the dizzying topic that has been chosen for the month. I'm interested to know what you have seen in these pictures. Specifically, to learn how they express "lines that don't like being lines". Or is that simply up to the viewer? ;) hehehe..

Also: Carl, I hope you're feeling better soon.

Thanks Lea!
I am feeling much better now.
# I think the great thing about photography is it is very subjective. Put an award winning photo in a room with professionals and you will hear people say they don't like it and why. Who you are and how you feel about the world shows through each photo you take. I also think if someone is not trying to critique your photos they were not good enough to stir the controversy in the first place. If someone is taking the time to critique your work, then you are headed in the right direction. This may have been way off topic... but that is typically what i am good at.
As far as the lines topic
#1 photo was a safe shot I took just to complete the mission. The water has no interest in reflecting what nature intended to be straight.
#2 just to throw a few into this one.. clouds are running vertical as the lines in the water are running parallel. the line the wake boarder is holding has no interest in being straight and everything from the pulley system to the grass is all leaning in the same direction.
#3 I love spiders and spider webs especially now that i am photographing them. Every spider web has beautiful sophisticated lines with purpose to the very structure of the web. Yet there is nothing straight about any of them. Even each one of his legs are pieces of straight lines that bend and move not just at the joints when needed.
Well at least thats the way I see it =)

Cool, thanks so much Carl for filling in with your thoughts on the pictures. I guess it's a question also of whether visuals can be properly expressed through language. Even if not, I think there is still a lot to gain from trying.
Other forms of expression are often coupled with "language assistance" to allow an audience to more fully engage with it. Museums have descriptions cards, and novels/movies have reviews written about them, and poetry almost seems to Require translation to “get it”.*
It is still always the art that must speak for itself, though. Additional materials may be subjective, no matter how objective the intentions were. And I try to visit those things last, so I can see how I initially react to things. But other times, you know, it's just nice to know other people's perspectives! :) So again, thanks! This has made it more interesting for me, definitely!
I especially liked the second one after reading. It’s something like an argument amongst lines. ;D And time will keep moving them in and out of agreement. The crane bending, the waves reaching shore, the wind blowing the weeds and clouds. I also really liked your careful observations on the web and spider legs being unlike each other.
*I enrolled in a poetry class this fall that’s offered for free on Coursera.com. Reading and even Listening to a reading of the poem “If I Told Him” did not seem to compare to the impact of Watching this poem -- Read here: http://writing.upenn.edu/pennsound/x/Stein/If-I-Told-Him.php Watch here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NppkBGkMctI&feature=youtu.be. That greater impact was expressed by many of the other students. So I think it’s fair to say, exploring concepts further can really highlight the artwork in new and very appreciated ways.

Nice idea :) The footsteps interrupt the natural lines in the sand, a classic sand dune picture.
Where was this taken?

The line of footsteps is such a great idea! Hahaa I was so thrown off by it, thinking it was the line who didn't like being a line, but it was the line who didn't like the other lines being lines.. Broken, itself by the spaces in between steps. Fantastic!

Let's Kick This Off!
October 2013 Project: "Lines That Don't Like Being Lines"
I was out today taking new pictures for this month's project, but I thought of this one from my archives as a broad interpretation of the theme!
This was taken in 2011 at a car show. This huge crowd was waiting in line to get into the show.
