black, white & beautiful

I found these three photos on Pinterest - an endless source of inspiration - and love the way each captures the stunning lines of curves. The bend of petals, the flow of cloth, and the movement of a wave are all beautifully caught in a moment of time.

the beauty of a curve - part 2

I received lots of positive feedback from the post I did about the beauty of a curve, so I thought I'd continue this theme. Hope you enjoy!

a shop sign in Alacati, Turkey grabbed my attention
and is anything but minialistic -
I captured this photo this past October
while on vacation

I photographed this standing in awe at
the Blue Mosque in Istanbul
curves can be seen everywhere -
they create an absolute feeling of lightness

the beauty of a curve

I came across this gorgeous black and white photograph of a ballerina en pointe exuding incredible grace and feeling of weightlessness. I think the ballerina is stunning and the photograph is breath-taking.

The ballerina's gracefully arched back, perfectly curved hands, and feet en pointe got me thinking about the beauty of a curve. Straight lines are, to me, very orderly and can be very modern looking -- both which can be great things. But wouldn't you agree, there is a softness to a curve that can be quite lovely? Here are two of my photos that are of simple subjects, but capture the beauty of a curve.

I think a curvy path is so much more
interesting than a straight one
