‘beauty in the mundane’ info: Adjusted color tone in CS2. I love experimenting with subtle color tones.
A piece inspired by Morrissey’s track Everyday is Like Sunday.
This series is called ‘Daily Tao’. Chinese symbols taken from the book ‘Tao Daily Meditations’ by Deng Ming-Dao. The book was given to me by a dear friend, and former lover. I enjoy picking it up and reading the entries, finding something new to take from them each time. From ‘Tao Daily Meditations’ on Mandala What did I do today? / I exercised. I said goodbye / To a departing friend. / I went to market, ate my meals. / Took a walk. Took out the garbage. / Read a little. Meditated. Slept. / This was my mandala. A mandala is most commonly a diagram or painting that one uses during meditation. The painting is usually brightly colored and extremely complicated. By beginning at the outer perimeter of the picture and gradually working inwards (sometimes pausing at certain parts to contemplate), the meditator becomes completely absorbed. By the time that the center is reached, all normal egoistic notions should have been dissolved and the profundities of the mind should have been opened. Other religions have various other ways: mass, chanting, sacrament, reciting holy scripture, contemplating. These too become their mandala—their objects of worship. But it is not enough to go to church or temple once a week, or to read a bit of a holy book every morning. Can Tao be confined to such simple rituals? No. We could fly to the very height of the cosmos, plunge to the greatest depth, swim the length and breadth of eternity, and still not come to the limits of Tao. Therefore, we should look to Tao in every day. We should ask ourselves each day how Tao manifested itself to us. Our daily activities are our mandala. Tao reveals itself to us in our mundane doings. Tao, love, god, universe, goddess, allah…....always around us, surrounding us, filling us, within us…....... and we strive to find it…........... Peace – Jenny
Just an everyday activity captured on film. I love how film can make the mundane seem so beautiful. Another medium format scanned negative – taken on a Hasselblad 500c.
A common ritual in India called Mundan, when a boy at the age of odd years is shaved off. A cermony of fun and joy! Nikon D70, Lense 18-70, Nikkor.

~ Rooftop of the Church of England Cathedral, North Adelaide, Adelaide, Sth Australia. This photograph was taken at dusk, sunset, the western sunlight is what gives the golden/yellow colour to the steeples (spires?) ... the clouds were just perfect for setting the building off. I was about 800 metres away (nearly a kilometre) taken from across a park/river (Festival Theatre platform, Adelaide, for those who know the location/area.) ~ I used this photograph as the background to this image, a while back… As a Laminated Print…
