I learn a lot from Flickr and the wonderful work found here. Being exposed daily to art of this calibre has, I hope, helped me to improve as a photographer.

I'm beginning to realize that the peer group comments on Flickr are influencing, to some extent, what I shoot, how I process, and what I post. Not that this is a bad thing. I truly believe this feedback is helping me to make better decisions and better photos. But, perhaps sometimes I hesitate to post the types of photos that really interest me. Things like shadow and light; the beautiful, but rough, textures of certain towns and villages; buildings in disrepair.

These photos show some of those things.

Decrepitude is always better on black!

Part of the set Textures of a village - Cairanne.

The Project: VILLAGE TEXTURES. Trying to present the "feel" of each of a number of villages through photos of local icons, of details, of people, of village life. The textures of each village, if you will. Brought together in this collection.

Even in monochrome these photos give the sense of the Provencal winter light.
