Some days it’s ‘HEY!’ and some days it’s ‘pssst’

Subjects for the camera talk to me.  Not in so many words, but they do seem to communicate about how desirable they would be for image making.  Keeping in mind that this is a metaphor rather than what passes for ‘reality’, I’ll continue to describe our interaction as a conversation.  On some days, some subjects are pretty insistent in commanding attention.  It is as if they are yelling ‘HEY!’  Today was at the opposite end of the scale, subjects were whispering.  That is not to say they were intrinsically less interesting, they were just more subtle.


I could as easily have stepped on these leaves as notice them.  But once noticed they speak quietly and don’t repeat themselves.


Moving water doesn’t repeat itself either.


Same rock, slightly different cropping and different water.  The water is always different.

I’m listening to Joan Baez sing ‘I wonder as I wander‘ as I am writing this.  It’s a little easier to wonder if the conversation with the subjects is quiet.


Less is said.  More is heard.  And seen.


Good day to be out.  Good day to go wondering.
