Recently, I took a street photography workshop with Guido Klumpe ( https://www.guido-klumpe.de/ ). He is mostly known for his minimalistic approach with colors and shapes — you should check out his work! Here's one of my own attempts from the workshop.
A weird part about minimalism is you get excited about getting rid of stuff that the average consumerism-minded person gets excited about acquiring.
A friend exclaims about getting a new mechanical keyboard, while I express the lightness I feel after selling mine and just using the perfectly fine laptop keyboard.
Do I really need a more visceral keyboard experience or is it just a weak compensation for some other lack or dissatisfaction from another unseen source?
I really love the YouTube videos that are the opposite of "Cool Amazon things you need," where they talk about how the Amazon listings are actually pointless, or how you can do the same thing with junk you already have at home.
@mrowster that’s fun to think about. I’m more drawn to Feldman and Cage than I am those other guys, though I’ve enjoyed some of what the latter group did. Feldman’s work is just so compelling.
"She pivoted from painting to lighting exhibitions, performance art, graphic design and minimalist music, performed with her husband, the composer La Monte Young."
@msquebanh They have always made their appearance here when sending some beloved animals off to their journey in the next life. There is something special about them and people figured that out a long time ago.
Semi-recent work from me, No. 1011. A rich aqua and a cool white cross the canvas in uneven layers, in broad, sweeping horizonal strokes of thick paint at the top, while the lower part employs rougher, looser strokes with the aqua color peeking through.

Taking these shapes from concept to code took me far longer then it probably should have. One of those sketches that take a lot of thought and effort to try and look effortless.
Due to health problems (diabetes), I have to walk a lot. Sometimes it's boring. But I have started taking photos of city details with my phone camera. While I can see plant images almost everywhere, I'm still a bit blind in the city. I hope this will change over time.
