Welcome to the NWCU Sunday Snapshot #NWCU #ART #photography

Today is The New World Creative Union’s first Sunday Snapshot. We would like to welcome each of you especially our guest photographer Terence Jones.

I (Leslie Moon) met Terence several years ago on Flickr. I was entranced with his work; several of my archived poems have his black and white photographs as the prompts.

Look through the aperture with Terence and experience art...

What is your favorite subject to shoot?

“I usually want to capture something that is lost in every day’s speed. I just realized this extremely old iron rail in front of my window. It is probably eighty years old, has seen wars, births, deaths; it is a silent witness of what happened here.”

How does black and white impact your expression?

“Very much actually. Colors force the viewer to see the picture in a pre-defined way. In shooting black and white, I believe that  the perception is more genuine and not necessarily linked to former experience. It is more pure, more about the picture itself.”

What would you suggest to people just starting out?

“I believe in the Tradition of the Sun (Coelho). Go the extra mile, explore, get in touch and connect with what you are doing. You have to touch it yourself. Go out from the beginning and have fun.”

For those of you who are curious, Terence shoots with a Canon EOS 7D. His primary lens is the Canon 50mm. He is a shallow depth of field addict; usually shoots almost wide open at f/2.0.

I hope you like the collage that I put together so you can see the scope of Terence's work.

Thanks Terence for the inspiring pictures!!!

We are striving  to create a community of artists with the NWCU Sunday Snapshot. There is such a diverse talent out there. I enjoy each day of discovery.

Please feel free to link a favorite piece you have written, drawn, cooked. We always appreciate your sharing the work of others in the community.

Best to you in the coming week as you create ~ Moondustwriter
