Black Forest Light
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. ~ Elliott Erwitt
There is nothing special about these leaves. There are innumerable other leaves just like them in the woods. It is the light – at this intensity, at this angle, at this very moment – that make them extraordinary.
Ten minutes beyond this moment, these leaves will fade into the mass of countless, unnoticed, ordinary…again.
This, my friends, is the “art” of photography.
