Last week we opened the curtain, now to set the stage. This image is basically an interesting picture about nothing. There is no story, unless you bring one; it is a common unattractive southern scene that is altered by light. I absolutely love it and would live with it if Rachel would feel the same; unfortunately, she does not. We learned early on that our tastes on such things are extremely different, making for a let’s call it an “eclectic” dwelling.
This is probably a photographer’s photograph so I understand Rachel’s objection. To me this image is about the craft of learning to see and understanding how things change with circumstance. This was just a ditch with trash thrown in it, then the sun came up and made it special. I added nothing but presence and was aware enough to notice the transformation.
