Concrete jungle, Maynooth, Ireland, 2009reflection

After the rather extens­ive last post, here’s a slightly shorter one. At least with a shorter mor­ale: “Be ready”.

Well, to be ready to pho­to­graph any inter­est­ing things you might come accross in your daily routine, you’ll need a cam­era to cap­ture it. Unless you have a semi-​decent cam­era in your cell­phone /​mobile /​handy, you’ll thus need to bring one along every­where you go, since you never know what’s going to hap­pen.

Ever since I got the small Fuji­Film Z20 I try to keep it in my jacket — of course with it’s bat­tery charged and with at least some space left on the memory card. That way, whenever I see some­thing curi­ous, beau­ti­ful, ugly, puzz­ling or whatever, I can take a photo.

What you see above is a lonely plant in the middle of a park­ing lot, fight­ing to sur­vive (I guess) or just hanging out. I tried to go low again to give some per­spect­ive and back­ground inform­a­tion on where the photo was taken, inten­tion­ally includ­ing a few the road mark­ing. A bit of vign­ette, desat­ur­ated col­ours and there you go. An impres­sion of the “con­crete jungle” of mod­ern days.
