It’s time for another round of photographs.
Wall Vignettes is the theme decided by M, founder-creator of this very challenging challenge. The previous two(Food and Table Setting) had all of us on our toes, till the very end. After stumbling, bumbling and falling(and failing), I had decided I am not going to mess it up again. I shall be fully prepared, in fact well in advance.
But old habits die hard and the fact that, I am particularly not too lucky adds enough salt to my wounds.
I was on a hunt. Aesthetically designed walls, with maybe murals, abstract designing, striking, haphazard yet deceptively organized was what I had in mind.
But my search turned futile most of the times. And whenever I did find something interesting, I had a main element missing – my camera. Now you know why I call myself unlucky.
Well, like the last two times, I scrambled at the very last moment to get something decent enough to put it out there.
M if you are reading this: The challenge details asks us to submit 1-5 photographs of the same subject matter. Does it mean, 1-5 photographs of the same “wall”, as in this month’s theme? Are assorted pictures of different elements but same subject allowed?
I have blogged 5 pictures of different walls. Er.. Hope I adhered to the rule..:)
Here are the following Clicks-
This picture is of my neighboring apartment.
The podium wall has an embossed mural in the shape of a tree, along with huge scattered branches. I took many shots, but somehow this one where you get to see only a part of the whole thing appealed more than the other clicks.
Next, since I was on a lookout for something different, other than wall paintings and photographs, my friend suggested this handsome house, which has very interesting wall vignettes and murals. It indeed was a visual treat. My only regret was how I wished I had a better camera!
This particular wall is a part of a narrow passage. with light coming in from the two ends, the long rectangle passage offered very little natural light and space. But it was intriguing and interesting enough for me to not let it go. Hence I try to capture part of it with many lights on(thankfully they were white lights!).
The house has a fascinating study, where ‘Warli Art’ is beautifully hand painted along the book shelf –
An exquisite serene metal embossed Buddha meditates on the other wall:
I chanced upon this art work done temporarily in a friend’s place where they celebrated “Krishna Janmashtami”, birthday of Lord Krishna. The entire set up was far away from natural light, hence after some permutations and combinations, I could get one or two clicks right.

Hi! I’m new to this challenge and I just put up my first post. I found it super challenging too! Just wanted to stop by and say hi!
hey Ali, thanks for stopping by. Yes, these challenges do keep you on your toes but its fun. I’m sure you are gonna enjoy yourself. good luck to you!
Hey, love all those walls you found. But I guess it deviated slightly from the ‘styling’ part of the challenge! I would love to see you show off something in your home.
The next challenge theme has really got me thinking. Getting tougher, right?!
Yes Anjana. I had millions of queries but don’t know why I refrained from asking them to M. I’m so weird. Hence I muddled up. But M and me are now on email together, so I have some direction and of course a mentor!
I plan to style the wall vignette theme, though not blog it but email it to M – just to learn more.
The themes are really interesting and they are challenging me creatively -so I intend to have fun, learn and get better.
And no, i will not shy away to ask questions now. š
That’s absolutely great, Namrata! I am enjoying this challenge too. Love all the comments and suggestions for each shoot. It is great to have additional pairs of eyes, because we get used to seeing things our way.
Loved all of them. #2 & 4 were very striking. Beautiful Buddha. I am a huge Buddha fan:).
