Photographer’s Choice – Rosie Kosinski

Prehistoric, Brainless, Dangerous… and Mesmerizing

Rosie Kosinski - Ballet of the Jellies

Rosie Kosinski - Ballet of the Jellyfish

In January of this year, Rosie visited the National Aquarium in Baltimore where a featured exhibit warned of the increasing population in our oceans of jellyfish caused by ocean environmental imbalance and pollutants in the water. The jellies have always been a creature to avoid due to the powerful sting when coming into contact with a swimmer. But for a photographer there’s only grace and beauty in these translucent, delicate prehistoric creatures. The lighting was ideal, the water clear and the blue color helped to bring out every detail in this well framed shot. Rosie returned with three images, any of which could be featured here. Two more are available on the next page. Enjoy them all. Continue reading

Photo of the Week – Rosie Kosinski

It’s a Sunday in Davidson. After church at a busy local restaurant. It’s warm, the sun is shining, the frock and sandals are new. Mom and dad are standing in line. I’m catching up on the local real estate listings!

For this posting it would be best to let the photographer do the talking. “Whenever my dad comes to visit we love to go to Toast in Davidson, a quaint restaurant with delicious food, always jam packed with hungry church-goers dressed up to the nines. One such young lady was this little girl, whom I watched for a good 10 minutes prance around with her brothers and sister, and eventually after pillaging the magazine rack by the side of the restaurant, settled herself down very gracefully, crossed her legs elegantly, and assumed a very mature quiet pose that I just had to capture. She looked up a few times to make sure people were taking notice, because she was very consciously imitating the adults about her. I had to snap the shot of her sitting there, fascinated by the real estate pictures, and holding her place confidently in a way only a child can.”

It’s all about light, shadows, colors, textures and hope.  It’s a lovely side of humanity.
