My first foray into the wabi sabi thread. Open to constructive criticism!

This slowly degrading plastic sheeting on the veranda of a woodland cafe, half repaired long ago...

the photo idea is brilliant -

however, there is too much in the photo for me personally -

i should have chosen one of the two sides    -    i would have chosen right

Thanks for that - it’s appreciated.

I have seen people attaching images with accompanying words and I suppose my use of a diptych was an attempt at phrasing, in a way. Probably not true to the essence of wabi sabi though I’m sure.

you should let the photo work without a description - that's the goal - often one thinks it helps where no help is needed

Goodness, what a brilliant picture! I'm excited. I also like the execution as a diptych. I have so many associations, my subconscious calls out: "Gone!"

Interesting! there are some very nice photos in this thread, but I find myself in the minority, some of these posted images don’t evoke any feelings in me. Rather they look like a more western/traditional (?) approach to photograph subjects believed to fit some definition, such as decaying items in nature, with so many photos of Fall leaves. I interpret Wabi Sabi to be something that depends on your reaction to it, I mean it should be known by your feeling towards the image, preferably rooted in a sub conscious feeling. Typically, the written word struggles to convey it. This is why I believe some people say it takes time to make the cultural transition. 

There are a few clues in Wikipedia but not many:

"If an object or expression can bring about, within us, a sense of serene melancholy and a spiritual longing, then that object could be said to be wabi-sabi."

It is a fascinating thread, so I will watch and try to learn!

Interesting comments you are making. I will think about it.

Ultimately, I've been trying to understand the term Wabi-Sabi for some time.
As a "Westerner", am I actually able to do this, or does my socialization prevent it?


After all, the photography process fills me with happiness: walking through nature with open eyes, the subject reveals itself, I press the shutter release and during post-processing I feel happy and secure and look at the picture with reference.

Yes, I would imagine one of the main challenges is being able to create the desired emotional sense in the observer, not only the photographer. I don’t think there is any reason for a ‘westerner’ to be unable to grasp ‘eastern’ concepts but it may take time.
