| My friend Phil ( http://www.pbase.com/pnd1 ) teaches about expressive photography. One of his issues is what he calls, "Kodak moments" which, while beautiful, create postcards which are literal representations of place rather than images which express how you feel about a place. These next images were taken at a famous photo-op place in Yosemite. Phil's mutterings led me to try to find more than the Kodak moment and to look down instead of up. Here the rippled reflection of the trees in the water creates a vibration surrounding the solidity of the rock. Leaves move and change much more rapidly than rock, yet the water is having its effect on the rock as well. |
