Pause

“I’d rather see a mediocre photograph that makes me feel something than a perfect photograph that makes me feel nothing,”
- Jim Estrin, New York Times photojournalist/teacher.

I'm passionate about watching birds, I'm not a "ticker", I'm horrible at conserving details, maybe because details kept are far less engaging than details experienced. In fact, that often reveals details
are the experience. Looking deep within often enables me to see far beyond. Droplet convexes, feather prisms, scale reflections, leaf translucency, a world of Light between, below and beyond, each rewarding a future creation, but so easily missed in a casual glance.

Birds are everywhere, and cause me to pause.

Je suis encore béni avec un sens d'aventure.
