The happy accidents make wabi-sabi tremendously exciting for me as a landscape oil painter!❤

[@fromlight2art985]

I imagine it does, keep up the inspiration! I feel the same way about photography ;)

I think every roll of film I've shot since 1960 had frames that qualify for this category of photography!! Never knew that what I thought was my poor photography had a name! Now I need to go through sixty years of prints and negatives to see what I can put together. I have kept EVERYTHING!!

[@normapadro420]

Wow. I threw out a few photographs many years ago thinking they were no good. If I had known that they would be ok just as they were I would have kept them. Society said they were junk. Even the ones that were low light. I found the beauty in those, because they were so beautiful when I turned them into black, and white. I had my ways of changing things.😮 I won't delete anything again since they have value.😊

[@fromlight2art985]

They always have value, as long as they're not duplicates ;) even if just to record and document thoughts, moments, or experiments which may inspire something else down the line.

This is a difficult genre for me to get my head around as I've always been strong in creating symmetry and organised composition.

[@fromlight2art985]

Symmetry and good composition should be ingrained first before you are truly able to reproduce your mistakes 😉

[@FrankReiter]

If that’s the style you love, run with it!

Does Tow Mater represent Wabi Sabi Guacamole'?

[@michaels7889]

Interesting, but ... I fail to see the Japanese interpretation of WabiSabi in most of the photography. It lacks the psychological and intellectual subtleties.

[@fromlight2art985]

Thank you Micheal for your feedback! It is true that there is a depth to the Japanese interpretation of Wabi-Sabi which the photographs only scratch the surface of ;) Hopefully, it is enough though to give some inspiration on how imperfections can lead to unexpected beauty in the creative process.👍

WabiSabi is neither a philosophy nor a concept nor a set of tecniques, nor susceptible to definition.
