I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept. Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going. I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist. If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work. View all posts by Ritva Sillanmäki Photography
I really like what you have done here…the painterly background and those interesting shapes suspended. I didn’t realise they were for fishing…my father had lots of fishing “lures” -forget what he called them – for fishing for trout. Thanks again for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
thanks, thats the word I would also use, lure, but local slang and words are so different.
Interesting combination of the lanterns with the fishing lures caught on the wire. It is sad for me to see this since I encountered a duck once that had fishing leader wrapped around one leg to the extent it had shut off its circulation and caused the blackening of its foot and webbing. I would hope fishermen could be very conscienteous to clean up any fishing leader or lures that break off when they are fishing.
