It’s Simple!

As if I haven’t enough to do with the move over to London, Mr. Jules has gone all creative on me.  He’s teamed up with two mates to put on a photography exhibition in aid of the charity Action-Sabrina.  Mr. Jules and mate Pierre are hobby photographers but other mate Ralfonso has a distinctive head start being a world renowned kinetic artist see www.ralfonso.com.

It is a slight stretch, in fact it is a Boarding House reach out of Mr. J’s comfort zone.  Used to crunching numbers and problem solving, his right hand creative brain lying dormant under layers of dust, has been punched bagged into action.  

Each photographer has to take four photographs from each of the following three themes making a total of twelve.  These will then be framed and sold for a few gold coins:

Cemetery

Station

Simplicity

Now the first two are left hand brainers where you just set the GPS and turn up and shoot but the last has been causing all sorts of problems to poor old Mr. J.’s under-used right side.  In desperation he acknowledges that we females of the race really do have some good qualities and he has been sucking the three women in this house dry for ideas:

Here’s a typical conversation that has taken place all summer with Mr. J, the three women in closest proximity, visiting relatives and even Marlyse the dog walker:

“What shall I do?  What does this mean this SIMplicity?”

“It’s your interpretation not ours, it has to come from YOU (duh).”

Again: “But what does it mean?”

“What you THINK it means is what it means.”

Mr. J. looks crestfallen and way-befuddled.

Females sighing:  “It has to be evocative.”

Mr. Jules looks wobbly.

“It has to stir something in the viewer.”

This then sparks an animated conversation between the present females on the subject.  Mr. Jules’ eyes glaze over and he quietly leaves the room.

Below is the invitation, please come along and view the photos and have a glass of wine with us.
