My search for interesting bikes has continued, and this time brought me to a rather interesting placement of this fully painted purple cruiser, complete with multiple wicker baskets!
I always love when multiple interests collide in front of my lens. Obviously, I’ve developed a mild obsession with photographing bikes, but have always had an interest in them, since I was first able to ride with training wheels and all. Another interest Ive mentioned in posts before is the beauty of barns, red ones specifically. So imagine my delight when I came across this scene, with two passions converging into one, slightly chaotic yet beautiful, display. Personally I could have done without the overgrowing vegetation, but wasnt about to start ripping someones plants out for the sake of a shot (doesn’t mean it didnt cross my mind however 
)
On a side note: Earlier today I was sitting, quietly pondering on my obsession (and I mean OBSESSION) with photography. Its incredible that it has already been 7 months of shooting, yet Im still as (if not more) excited about learning and applying as I was the day I picked up the cam for the first time! As I look back on all the places my various forms of cameras have taken me over the last 7 months, I cant help but smile, knowing this is only the beginning of something truly remarkable that is still unraveling as I continue to trek forward in this great adventure.
Everything from the wonderful Nick Exposed community, the monthly community projects (Which by the way if you missed the announcement of this months project its not to late to get in on the fun!! Check it out HERE), the exciting photo gigs and creative shoots Ive been landing lately, the incredible friendships and network within the community, and everything else that I cant think of in my insanely tired state right now (Played some very intense games of Beach Volleyball today, in some very intense sun and heat).
Thank you to all who have been following and supporting the process of both my own photographic growth, as well as the growth of this awesome photog creative community!! You Guys Rock!!
Oh btw, if you havent checked out the Nick Exposed Facebook Page just yet, you may want to do so and start following soon! Word on the street is theres going to be a pretty kick ass giveaway coming up in the next week or so 
I like the shot … and I too wanted to rip out the growth in front of the bike but then grew comfortable with it. I like the play between the purple bike and the red barn.
And your photo journey! It corresponds loosely with mine, but yours is moving at a more rapid pace than mine, but that’s OK because I’m still working on perfecting my skills in my paid profession (teaching).
Thanks Mona! And yes we all move at slightly different rates, but its good to see you have your priorities in order
I love how the doors look a little like a Union Jack
Rob, I continue to learn new things from you each time you comment haha. I didnt realize the UK flag was called a Union Jack! And yes I agree it does resemble it
Thanks Rob
technically speaking it’s only the union jack if flown on a ship, but everyone ignores that as it’s true name The Flag of the Union is a tad unwieldy, still that’s the beauty of blogging is that we can draw knowledge from around the world
Agreed!!
Cool shot. love the colours
Thanks Mark! I agree, the colors truly make the picture.
There are so many things that I love about this photo, but do you know what I love the most for some reason? The fact that the junction of the white cross pieces is not centred. It just would not have been the same if they were
. Does that make sense at all?
Absolutely makes sense
Static vs Dynamic, the key behind any composition! Thanks Cindy
I love the purple bike; such a color alone …then leaned against the barn!
There is a town nearby; Schuylervile, NY that has all colors of bike strewn throughout the town…as decoration ~ so cute.
Jess
That would be great to see. Ill have to keep Schuylerville in mind when I visit NY! Im always down for shooting new unique bikes
Thanks Jess!!
Nice Shot!
