Sunrise and sunset
Changing the world around us.
Transmogrifying?
****
Thank you to Sonya of Only 100 Words for coming up with Three Line Tales.
The TLT rules are simple:
Take a look at the photo prompt and write three lines to go with it.
Your lines can be poetry, micro-fiction, micro non-fiction or just a really long caption – everything goes as long as it’s three lines long.
A link back to this post would be nice (it’ll make me feel obliged to swing by yours to read your three lines, and some of your readers might want to join in, too – the more, the merrier, right?).
Tag your post with 3LineTales – it’ll make it easier for others to find it in the Reader.
A Fresh Perspective
Photography is more than just a vehicle for capturing the world around me; it provides me with a palette and a set of brushes, with which I paint not only what I see, but also look to express the emotions that are evoked by the scene in front of me in that moment.
Growing up in the Netherlands exposed me to a wide cross-section of visual arts that laid the foundation of my photographic view of all that surrounds me. Early influences were the Dutch Masters of the 17th century, to whom I was introduced by my grandfather during museum explorations; favorites among them are the scenes of quotidian life depicted by Jan Steen and Frans Hals and the vivid landscapes of Jacob van Ruisdael.
My classical high school education was supplemented by the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, where I spent many a lunch hour exploring its great collection. Here I was introduced to surrealism with a particular love for the approach taken by Salvador Dali; Dali also rekindled my appreciation for the work of Hieronymus Bosch, who often showed the folly of us mortals.
Universal Connections
My approach to any photographic subject is to look for understanding first; in this I look to establish either a connection between the viewer and the subject or capture the connection of the subject with its surroundings. The captured image then aims to portray this connection from a perspective that is part of my personal interpretation.
This interpretation is often a form of externalized introspection, which may alternately display the connection of isolated beings and items with their environment or highlight the whimsy of the profound world, in which we find ourselves. The universe is full of connections, many of which are waiting to be discovered; part of my journey as a photographer is to document these connections.
Any assignment, be it an event, a product shoot or a portrait session is always approached through communication with the client; this is where the first connection is established. Ideas are exchanged and a collaborative plan of action forms, ultimately resulting in a set of images that aim to exceed the expectations of each client.
And, lest we forget, it is important to have fun while practicing the serious business of photography!

Thank you for bending my mind and teaching me another {my second of the day!} new word: Transmogrify !
Also, it’s recently been brought to my attention that my gravatar was linked to the wrong blog. Seems you’ve visited Stranger in a Strange Mind, where you’re always welcome. 🙂
My primary site, however, is Tales of Unusual Strangeness. I’ve updated my gravatar settings, so that should lead you to the right place now. 🙂
Thank you, I will check out Tales as well. Have a great day.
Dutch goes the Photo! 
Thank you for bending my mind and teaching me another {my second of the day!} new word: Transmogrify !
It’s a word I learned from reading James Joyce.
Ah! Note to self on adding to my reading list 🙂 Thank you!
Wonderful job! And, WOW – all five syllables in one word. Amazing. And yes, transmogrifying!
Nothing like a bit of transmogrification to complete the day 🙂 Thank you!!
I’m enjoying your posts. I love haiku and because of you, I learned about this 3LineTales! Here’s mine: https://angelambrose.wordpress.com/2016/02/18/three-line-tales/

High five for getting five syllables in one word! Great idea, as well. Thanks for another great contribution to Three Line Tales 🙂
Thank you! I love what you have created with Three Line Tales, and like that it looks to be catching.

A new word for the day, brilliant.

An interesting question indeed.
And ‘transmogrifying’ really should be used in more conversations.
Thank you! Yes, certain words should be part of our daily vocabulary 🙂
You’re most welcome.
