I look; morning to night I am never done with looking.
Looking I mean, not just standing around,
but standing around
as though with your arms open.

To really see, to look closely, this is my current and on going quest. To notice the light, the textures, the shadows. It is as if I were a beginner again. I am amazed.

| Leaves, Leslie Avon Miller |
I love so many things: leaves and twigs and seeds, found objects. Things that tell of times past. My families collections. Especially I love beauty that comes with time.
I am working with new equipment - a tablet, and with a new image editing program called snapseed. SO much to learn! I miss having a mouse!!! My quest to learn better photography techniques and develop pleasing arrangements of collections is on going. If I took a picture of something everyday it would take years to photograph all the items I have from my Mom's collections, not to mention all the leaves and twigs and shells and things I can not resist bring home with me. When a projects captures one's enthusiasm and heart, one is headed in the right direction.
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely headed in the right direction - these photos are stunning, captivating. Beautiful!

ReplyDeletei am never tired for looking in the sky , no matter is it day or night. this is my "love look"
ReplyDeletePRETTY and so COOL!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. Looking is such a strong component of my summer life where everything slows down to a crawl in our quiet little community on the edge of the ocean. I have to slow down and do more of it now that I am in the city again. These images will be my inspiration. Do you find you behave differently based on where you are or are you constant in your attention to the small things?
