Poll question: ~~~ October Photo Contest - Part 3 ~~~
Edited on Thu Oct-15-09 01:07 PM by Richard D
This month's contest theme is Wabi-Sabi.


WHAT IS WABI-SABI?

The Japanese view of life embraced a simple aesthetic
that grew stronger as inessentials were eliminated
and trimmed away.
-architect Tadao Ando

Pared down to its barest essence, wabi-sabi is the art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature, of accepting the natural cycle of growth, decay, and death. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered-and it reveres authenticity above all. Wabi-sabi is flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass. It celebrates cracks and crevices and all the other marks that time, weather, and loving use leave behind. It reminds us that we are all but transient beings on this planet-that our bodies as well as the material world around us are in the process of returning to the dust from which we came. Through wabi-sabi, we learn to embrace liver spots, rust, and frayed edges, and the march of time they represent.


The Preliminary round will run until 8:00 P.M. EDT on October 18th, with the Final round posted thereafter.

The top two finishers in each Preliminary thread will advance to the Final round, along with the next four highest vote-getters overall.

Viewer comments are welcome. Please show your appreciation for these great photographers by giving this thread a rec and a kick!

2. This contest is going to be very, very difficult.
I think these 30 photos are some of the best we've produced. :)
