I used it yesterday as part of my sad-for-myself/art post, and never even talked about it. Never said a word about how much I fell in love with those hazy, rainy, skeleton trees in the sideview mirror, the only shot where the trees appeared; it's all raindrops in the other images. It's that moment I strive to paint, so still, but a deceptive stillness, there's movement all around, I sense it, but those trees seem part of a different landscape, quite ghostlike, removed from the rain. I continue to work on bringing my painting aesthetic into my photos; the less I worry about it, the easier it becomes, or perhaps I've just grown more comfortable with the camera. Whatever the reason, however I am getting there, I am getting there.
short & sweet
oh you are there, that looks so much like your paintings...it's simply gorgeous, and something that most people would completely overlook...
ReplyDeleteDelicious!!
ReplyDeleteI *heart* this photo - wish I had taken it! :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous "painting".
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole subset of photos that I didn't realize I loved taking and that's inadvertent reflections (windows, random mirrors, chrome). This is a truly fine example. I love the trees. It was the first thing I noticed.
ReplyDeleteI think I need a tattoo of that on my forehead...
ReplyDelete"I am getting there"
xox
I agree with Beth... I need to tatoo it, or stick it to my head somehow. xxVicki
ReplyDeleteGetting there...hmmmmm...not sure if I ever will. But I love your words and the imagery of your post today...
ReplyDeletewhat is it about the trees .. they mesmerize me!
ReplyDeletedreamy photo.
ReplyDeletebeautifully descriptive words.
Your photos always have such a painterly quality. This one more than most. You find the magic in the most wonderful of ordinary.
ReplyDeleteGetting there? You have always been there. Since I have known you...finding the beautiful in the ordinary..making the details of your life look like a painting.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this picture.
Love it.
Not only the trees in the mirror, but the one in the background as well. Beautiful colour wash. Like a painting.
