Default Water

I was inspired by the blog to try a water shot. One of them turned out pretty minimalistic.

Water & Cherry tomatos

Cool minimalism assignment contribution



ok kids I think I finally got the idea after re studying the article, reviewing the website again and review the above entries ....

I guess we'll see..... this is fun .... informative, educational .... but a lot of fun to see what ya'll bring to the table .... makes me feel sort of inadequate but oh well my art is for me I just hope you can help me improve it so others will enjoy it too

Here is a great piece written by Japaslavian, a DPS member. This will give you a great insight into "what the heck is minimalism" see it HERE...Thanks for this, Jeff!

My Attempt:
black, no sugar
Don't forget to tag your entry with "assignment:minimalism" if you'd like it considered for the weekly mini competition.

Exif data should still be intact if you wish to participate in the mini contest.... also the image in question should be taken with in the 16th Jan - 30th Jan 2008

Next weeks assignment will be : eyes [any eyes, just eyes]
sorry but I keep coming back to this one ..... I just cant help myself .... awesome photo

Wow ... which one to pick for "Minimalism" ... I have a lot to choose from. I think I'm going to post this one for now, and very much not for the assignment since it's too old:

I Walk the Line
