Trees in the Mirror

From the in the car, in the rain photo shoot 2 or 3 days ago.

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.
