UNOCOSA'S SMALL LITTLE THINGS #007:
A SMALL COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS,
EACH FOCUSED ON ONE SINGLE SUBJECT
... It seems to me that always those little lonesome single things speak to me most. I never believed conformity. The things that were singled out from their surrounding must have echoed that mentality. I felt close to them.

[ View #04 ] THE VERY SINGLE DOT OF RED UNDER THE SKY
Anecdote
I am very sensitive to the shade of red. No matter how small the object is, if it is in some sorts of red shades, it will catch my eyes. On the way to work, walking by a dense bushes in the neighbor's yard, here it was: the tinniest dots of red, fell down from the plant, against all the dullness of the typical winter. And, then, my eye traced up, I found the heaven of starling red star, sparking so brightly under the blue sky.

[ View #05 ] HUNG ABOVE THE BED OF GREEN LEAVES
Anecdote
I wanted to capture this dangling drop of red with the entire carved Fleur de Li fence underneath. Here it came the limitation of using a point and shoot. If I was to zoom out far enough to do so, I would simply loose the magic of read pearl. Therefore, between the Fleur De Li fence and the single red dot, I chose to focus on the tiny plant because how one could resist the delicious shade of red, hanging right above the bed of green leaves. I think this would be easily mistaken as a photo of spring, certainly a season with much anticipation. || ANOTHER VIEW ON Flickr.

[ View #06 ] SOFTLY, I REMEMBERED
Anecdote
This particular photo is special to me as it was the very first capture of macro-esque style that evolved itself into the very foundation of UnoCosa's Small Little Things. This was taken back in June last year when the west side highline walkway just opened in Meatpacking District. Prior to that, I was never that into macro photography of any sorts, nor did I have any knowledges. Then, purely by accident, we ran into this guy who happened to be a Macro photography enthusiasts. He eagerly explained in depth to us about his Macro lens, twisted and turned the focus to show me the magic. I was totally taken by what I saw through the lens and eagerly played with my own Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, trying to find similar focus. With the shimmery light of an early summer night, without knowing how I did it, I ended up going home with this photo that had this beautiful bokha effect and was somewhat within the parameter of Macro style that I became so in love with. Though much fascinated, the notion of investing and carrying loads of lens and a big camera just did not seem manageable to me. So, ever since that day, I have been attempting to capture things in Macro style with my simple point and shoot.

[ View #07 ] THE PERFECTLY ROUND SHAPE
Anecdote
Going to the doctor's office in a cold winter day is never a pleasant experience. Anticipating the unpredictably long hours of examinations and waiting time in between made my head spinning. There was really not much to see either during this time of year in Bay Ridge area. Everything seemed all gloom and doom. However, I found it quite interesting that all the dry bushes along the side walks were trimmed perfectly. Though not all that lively, one can sense certain care had been made to maintain the appearance of trees and the streets. And, it was within those brownish grey bushes, I discovered this perfectly round gem in its very glorious shade of navy-blue-black. Capturing this photo did cheer me up! || ANOTHER VIEW ON Flickr.
