I recently got to know a photojournalist whose pictures of Middle East conflict and life have appeared in major world publications. I asked him how to take a good picture and he told me, “Look for the light.” Tonight, I looked and took a couple shots of what I saw.
I’ve been living in my apartment for about 10 months now, and I’m ashamed to admit that until today, I had never noticed that the tree next to the driveway had grown around an old fence post. Evidently, tree beats fence post.
When I came back from my run tonight, I sat on the porch for a few minutes to cool off and calm my breathing. I found myself staring at the bush in front of the porch railing and I wanted to share what I saw. Sharing with others really is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Unfortunately, no one really believes that in kindergarten, and then sometimes we forget as we get older.
