Bob Daalder

About 3 years ago I seriously discovered the fun of photography. It started rather innocent but right now it's part of every-day's life.

My photo's are very basic. I like to keep it plain and simple although I prefer a wonderful blur...
I try to show you everyday stuff in a slightly different way. I think my 'blue-period' is coming to its end. This doesn't mean I don't like blue anymore but I guess you will see other colours too in my latest work.

Last week I stood up and the first thing (after you know what) I did was looking at these flowers and hoping they finaly go to bloom... and the moment you didn't expected it they would, they surprise you with their beauty!
Right now, only this one is blooming but I hope the rest of them are about to bloom too. It's about time to have some extraordinary color in our garden :-).

The weather was lovely, my things were done so I went outside for a walk. Left the dogs home... because they scare away all the little insects etc. I took several pics of this little beetle but I like this one best.

Bob Daalder has uploaded Sorry...

For some reason the lyrics underneath came to my mind....

"I'm sorry for the times that I made you scream
for the times that I killed your dreams
for the times that I made your whole world rumble

for the times that I made you cry
for the times that I told you lies
for the times that I watched and let you stumble ....."

I’m in love with these fragile, almost satin Poppies. We got some in the garden and every morning I’m going to look for them… They can make my day…

Bob Daalder has uploaded Tenderness...

"Try a Little Tenderness"

"Oh she may be weary
And young girls they do get wearied
Wearing that same old shaggy dress
Yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah
Oh my my, huh

You know she's waiting
Just anticipating
A thing that she'll never
Never, never, never, never possess, yeah yeah yeah
But while she's there waiting
And without them
Try a little tenderness
That's all you gotta do

It's not just sentimental, no no no
She has her grief and care   Yeah yeah yeah   But the soft words   They are spoke so gentle, yeah    It makes it easier   Easier to bare, yeah    You won't regret it, no no   Young girls they don't forget it   Love is their whole happiness, yeah   But it's all so easy   All you've gotta do is, man   Hold her where you want her   Squeeze her, don't tease her   Never leave her, get to her   Just try, try a little tenderness, yeah yeah yeah   You got to know how to love her, man   Take this advice, man   You got to squeeze her   Don't tease her, never leave   You got to hold her   And brother, something else   Try a little tenderness, yeah yeah yeah yeah   You've got to tenderness, now, uh   I tell you, don't lose her, no no   You got to love her, tease her   Don't leave her   Got to try, now now now   Try, try a little tenderness, yeah   Watch the groove   You got to know what to do, man   Take this advice   You gotta love and squeeze   Don't tease my baby   Love her, lord..."    written by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly and Harry M. Woods  

"Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams."
- Ashley Smith

I love the dynamics of this blowball.... this one was in my garden but, I have to admit, I took it in the house to make some photo's otherwise my dogs should have ruined it or the wind should have blown it away...

Serene, virginale white in a soft yellow surrounding makes it a bit dreamy.... a bit soft, pastel. Makes you feel sleepy probably....

Bob Daalder is now following Lauren Wuornos

My name is Lauren Wuornos and I live within the perspective that we are only tourists. Our lives are only a fraction of a fraction of the time that has passed. The concept of time itself really interests me. Because of this, I feel I have a loyal duty to humanity. I am worried we will detach ourselves from the big picture (no pun intended) and live only within our shells because personally, the more addicted I get to technology, the more I want to abandon it.



I have to do something to change the world, and whatever that is, exactly, I believe I am capable of achieving. I aspire to collaborate within the creative workforce because to change anything at all, innovation is absolutely key. I am also a traveler at heart and an adventurer into the unknown.



All photos shared here were created in a single shot with no multiple exposures or layering techniques during the editing process. My shooting style is very much just observatory. I never move an object unless otherwise stated.



The act of physically taking each of these has become a quiet tool of meditation. When my eyes frantically scan the world I'm standing on for details in the patterns that strike me, I never feel more in the moment. It is my personal mental puzzle as well as an oasis from the city that sustains the joy I get from having the ability to capture a visual thousands of people pass each day and never notice, never admire or even acknowledge its existence. Life really is beautiful, you just have to open your eyes.

Bob Daalder is now following Heidrun Lutz

Das Leben ist bunt. Und so sind auch meine Bilder meist bunt und farbenfroh. Allerdings habe ich - wohl zum Ausgleich ;-) - auch ein Faible für das reduzierte, einfache und oft auch minimale von Schwarz-Weiß, Sepia, Duotone.

Meine Arbeiten entstehen aus digitalen Fotos, hin und wieder auch aus Scans und gelegentlich auch Illustrationen oder Computer-Grafiken. Ich verarbeite spontane Ideen, Anregungen aus der Natur und lasse mich auch gerne von anderen Kunstwerken inspirieren.

Meine Lieblingsmotive sind Blumen, Blüten, Pflanzen - auch sehr gerne die wilden Schönheiten, die leider oft wenig beachtet werden, weil sie nicht so spektakulär daher kommen wie Zuchtformen. Das Marode, Alte und Geometrie, Kontraste faszinieren mich ebenfalls, Motive mit Botschaft ... :-)

Mein Business: Grafikdesign. Spezialität: Nachhaltige, ökologische Werbung (EcoDesign).

Fotos und Interessantes rund um unsere heimischen "Wilden Schönheiten" gibt es in meinem Blog: http://wildeschoenheiten.wordpress.com

Nothing more and nothing less!....
But why Red and pointing? why blurry and not secure?..... Think!
