February — A Year in Photographs — Lines and Curves /  by Adrian Galli

Grass and Arches — Day 036

Lines, such as leading lines and the rule of thirds, are fundamental elements in photography. I believe taking a slightly different perspective for a month offers an optimal experience, yet it also presents a challenge. While there are numerous lines and curves in the world, both are essential for capturing the essence of this photography theme.

Strange… you’d think this was easy but while I was in Florida visiting family, it took a keen eye to find something that I wanted to photograph.

As we enjoyed the sunshine, a moment would present itself—a short detour, circling a block, or a walk down a different path. Most of my photography is a solo adventure but sometimes family guides you to just the right place.

January — A Year in Photographs — Night /  by Adrian Galli

Blue Specter — Day 030

While it is no secret that photography requires light, a walk down a dark street, fog, lights glowing along the sidewalk or beaming out from a neon sign in a window, begs to be photographed. It is the lack of light, overall, that makes the scene so enticing.

Simply taking a photograph at night was not my goal. Anyone can do that. In this series, I focused on what makes the night so mysterious—dark figured, shadows, unexpected visitors or passersby.

Luminous objects glow, dark structures give shape to the light, a figure crosses into view and the shutter is released. A photograph a thousand people could have taken is now unique with a moment that never comes again.
