Inspired by an article on Steve Jobs that Trevor @burntleaves sent me this morning, I decided on a minimalist study of my 1940s tank style Bifora.

That’s a beauty, John. This style of photography I’ve come to realise isn’t so much about light and dark but actually of minimalism.

It’s so beautiful to reduce something to its simplest components like in this photograph and quite often it provides the antidote or the fresh air one needs.

Incidenty, with all this talk of Steve Jobs, I also did something Apple related today 🙃

Thanks again, Trevor. I feel reducing an image to the bare minimalist essentials makes life easier for me. One item in an image is a lot easier to photograph than a group study.

Now, if only I could reduce the clutter in my mind to the bare minimum.

🤗 I'm on my way to check out your posting just now.. I bet it's brilliantly creative as usual 🤓

Thanks, Ming. It seems Mr Jobs was a man of contradictions, but I'm quite happy with his minimalist ideals 🤓

Love the watch John, but your photography trumps that to be honest. Beautiful framing and lighting, just great!

I'm so pleased you like it, Miguel. I was slightly afraid, I had gone too minimalist 🤓

Stunning piece! I love the original vintage (now known as 'retro') colors they used then. Gorgeous.
