Rarely does the photographer actually appear in a photo. I know I sure don’t. However, after stumbling upon this scene I couldn’t help but jump in the photo. Just for a moment, everything was clear. This is the way I see the world. It is beautiful and full of wonderful people. Seeking out its beauty and sharing it with others is what I do. If only to encourage others to do the same. There is something transcendent about art and beauty. It’s a common ground that breaks down the barriers that divide us. I’m a dreamer, but in my heart of hearts I know if we all recognize and share the beauty of this world, we will make it a better place.
Simple, but telling post Justin! Dig it!
Fun shot!
I like the sentiment, Justin. Great shot too. I don’t know if you planned it, but I think having you placed right on the edge of the shadow really works.
Yep, Richard has it right…. Only, only, had you taken your clothes off…. Just saying ….. :-)
Seriously, how many photographers have placed themselves in a photo while they were controlling the camera?
One of your best posts to date. A beautiful image and poetic words.
I think sometimes photographers are so into capturing the perfect composition that they forget that the best shot is sometimes capturing the perfect moment to remember a scene by. You did this one just right!
Well said, and very well executed! Stunning shot!
Thanks much Jan.
Love it Justin!
Thanks everyone for taking the time to stop by!
Well said man. You have a lovely site. Congrats. Maybe we can shoot sometime. Take care.
Howdy,
Looks like we are nearly neighbors. I would love to shoot, just let me know when.
Talk to you soon!
Justin
