Slow and steady wins the race
Simi Shonowo
Paddling may be slow but it gets you somewhere...
A wise person seasoned an matured with time (wise) says to the younger hasty one (hasty): Will your being in a hurry make things move faster?
Hasty: It does seem to move faster
Wise: Will the increased risk to your health and physical safety be worth the hurry?
Hasty: Well er...
Wise: Is it a race, a competition, or a goal?
Hasty: My goal is to get there.
Wise: If you could possibly die or fall ill doesn't that take away from the goal?
Hasty: Hmmm. Well if I do not hurry, what can I do then?
Wise: Relax take a breath and remember your goal ... slow and steady wins the race. Winning the race is achieving your goal.
The Iron Photographer Challenge
The elements for Iron Photographer 33 were inspired by the recent Sunday Salon on Brassaï:
1 - shot at night
2 - dramatic light source
3 - black and white
The first element, shot at night, is abundantly clear. You can tell it's night because the sun has set. If the sun is out, it's not night. We don't care if you shoot the photograph inside or outside so long as the sun has passed below the horizon.
The second element, dramatic light source, is the most ambiguous one. You'll have to decide that for yourself, but it won't hurt to take a look at some of Brassaï's work.
Finally, we want the photograph to Brassaï be in black and white. We don't care if you shoot black and white or if you make it black and white in post-processing. How you get it to be black and white is entirely up to you.
That's it. Go get Parisian.
