Freeman
Patterson, the famous New Brunswick photographer (freemanpatterson.com), once
wrote, “If you do not see what is around you every day, what will you see when you
go to Tangiers?”
I’ve always
liked Freeman Patterson’s photographs and would love to travel to New Brunswick
to take one of his courses. In the meantime, I decided to put his philosophy into
practice this week by combining my daily walks with Edna (our ten-month-old,
forty-pound Basset Hound) with my fabulous Canon 70D camera to see what images
the two of us could find while roaming the neighbourhood. All these images were
recorded within a five-block radius of the house, all proving that when you
look, you’ll see!
I have no
immediate plans to travel to Tangiers, but Bill and I have booked our flights
to spend next April in Australia. I have a feeling that the two of us will be
seeing a great deal indeed. Alas, neither Freeman Patterson nor Edna will be
accompanying us.
Enjoy these
images of our east end Belleville neighbourhood!
Until next
time.
