Posted by Olaide (Fort Collins, United States) on 26 July 2007 in Food & Cuisine and Portfolio.
Once again, I want to thank you all my friends for your words of encouragement on this blog. Indeed, i consider myself fortunate to be able to relate with you all. My passion and hobby is photo art. I've tried to merge this with my spiritual life in order to see Him more. The result is a great understanding of my (our) creator.
Seeing God in every day life is a marvellous experience. Todays shot is tittled Wisdom and i chose an egg to represent this subject. Ruminate with me and you will know why.
The scripture says, Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you. She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of splendor.

Thought provoking and creative shot. If I may, I'd go inter-faith and say: Zen.

Very nice B&W shot!
26 Jul 2007 6:31am
Wow, the technical aspects of your photo are so simple and so very effective. Your narrative is both self-disclosing and profound. Both image and words go together well. "In the beginning was the Word..."
26 Jul 2007 7:08am
Seriously, urs is the first foto i seen taken with an egg...but...it is attractive...deep...although simple Well Done!
26 Jul 2007 8:45am

Simple but powerful! Beautiful!!!!!
26 Jul 2007 8:51am
To be able to understand would probably be one of the hardest things to do. Love your photo.
26 Jul 2007 8:53am
so simple and so great! very beautiful
26 Jul 2007 9:36am
hey ...i think your view is not so simple as some think ..i saw last 20 photography ...differently, unusually,heavey, thoughtful ... & ... & but not simple, even this photo
26 Jul 2007 10:21am
@armin: you are right. One has to look beyond the image and tries to merge the image with the words. Most times, my pictures speak in parables. Maybe because I am a deep thinker. In shot, I hope you see more than the pictures and words. Thanks for your visit my wise friend.
very simple and nice image
26 Jul 2007 10:38am

26 Jul 2007 1:20pm
hey Olaide--minimal shot--maximum result--billy
26 Jul 2007 4:22pm
You have a knack of pulling spritual and universal truths from the simplest of things, which is masterful, as the simple turns out to be more complex than first glance. Excellent work.
26 Jul 2007 5:09pm
Yes it is a marvellous experience pal! Nice shot. so simple but says so much! :)
26 Jul 2007 6:33pm
Very nice! Sometimes I think myself as an egg - soft on t he inside and tough from the outside. But regardless, He loves me none the less =)
26 Jul 2007 7:00pm
Excellent !
26 Jul 2007 9:28pm
Simple and superb!
26 Jul 2007 9:36pm
My dear Sam: excellent - thought provoking as always. B-)
26 Jul 2007 11:30pm

27 Jul 2007 12:20am
I really love the simplicity of this shot, and all you put in it !!!!!!
27 Jul 2007 2:16am
Great and very creative shot! Nice commentary too.
27 Jul 2007 2:55am
WOW, wonderfully thought out pic...good job!
27 Jul 2007 3:44am
Everyone has already said it: very simple and therefore even more powerful!
27 Jul 2007 8:09am
Simplicity and perfection!
27 Jul 2007 10:51am
Nice capture
27 Jul 2007 7:22pm
interesting...and beautiful...is it endogeneity in this shot?
27 Jul 2007 10:32pm
Great simple shot. Sometimes, less = more.
28 Jul 2007 10:42am
Your work reminds me of the paintings of the Dutch artist Henk Helmantel, it's sincere and serene. Helmantel has recently been refused by the Groningen Museum because he is "too traditional", and not "innovative", "not an artist but a good craftsman" etc. whereas other traditional painters were exposed there. I find this arrogance must be punished by withdrawal of subsidy.
28 Jul 2007 12:40pm
Its simplest yet so beautiful !

You sure have a gift "To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour." William Blake bless you.

You've chosen a simple but wonderful subject to describe a lot of ideas in a simple shot. very well done.
29 Jul 2007 10:26am
You have some amazing photos on your blog...congrats! As for this one is just the kind of picture that I like. A simple subject ,a simple photo , simple lines, simple b&w and yet such a great and powerful result!
29 Jul 2007 1:06pm
hey, wait for more ...
30 Jul 2007 7:42am
Lovely shot, thank you for being an inspiration to many of us.
30 Jul 2007 10:22am
i love such pictures ... well done !!! it surely makes u think
30 Jul 2007 12:48pm
Egg - you've got to crack it to be nourished by the yolk and the white...
Wisdom - you've got to crack at it and eat it to get it :)
simple shot of wisdom!
30 Jul 2007 2:43pm
Simple but stunning!
30 Jul 2007 3:45pm
Very beautiful in its simplicity Olaide!
31 Jul 2007 4:51am
my first thought was just "it's an egg"... but in this simplicity is its value. congratulations.
31 Jul 2007 8:56am
Very good presentation of this simple shot
1 Aug 2007 8:14pm
Excellent. I love the way you make some simple, but effective photographs. And your texts are really meaningful... nice photo & excellent photoblog, keep it coming! :)

Your narratives complement and enhance your images well. I was quite attracted to this shot of the humble egg. Showing it in mono, I think, strengthens the image. There's more than meets the eye. Would like to thank you for visiting my photoblog, too.

this is a very elegant piece of minimalism
