My kind of photograph. Lots of big, bold, bright color. I didn’t actually see quite as much color when I stopped to press the button, but I did see the tree reflection. That’s what caught my attention.
You know me. I’m of the opinion that anything can be a picture. Not in all light. Or, at all times of day. You have to be patient. Or, have an all seeing dog. She knows all. Even though she see monochromatically, she can see how the light and shadows fall.
In fact, she stood right in front of this car. Well, SUV. She moved when she saw what I was doing.
I should be somewhere in the picture, but I can’t find myself. Maybe you can.
The big news of the day is that I get my CoVid-19 vaccination today. The hospital scheduled me for my second injection as well.
I don’t think much is going to change for me in how I address the virus. I’ll still social distance. I’ll still mask. I’ll still growl at the person who stands too close to me in the grocery. Or, has his mask way down over his nose.
If I don’t speak for me, who will?
Stay safe. Stay mighty. You know exactly what to do. Enjoying all the seeing.
Seeing and looking are two different items in sort of a continuum. You can look and see nothing. I know a lot of people like that, including me sometimes.
Or, you can look and see. That’s a very different thing. It’s what enables me to see this car and the tree reflections. It enables me to feel the picture.
I think making a photograph is mostly by feel, rather than intellectual or mechanical.
For sure, you have to understand your gear and you have to understand who and what you are as a photographer. But, that’s not directly involved when you actually make the picture. It hovers in the background.
Of course, you have to have another kind of vision when you are developing and editing the picture.
If you do, you might make something with which you are happy.
