7. Light and the Small Details
I see small details around me, details that I often take for granted. However, when I have a camera in my hand those very same details suddenly provide the material for some interesting and beautiful photographs. These images are among the more satisfying images that I make because they provide me the opportunity to create something extraordinary from the mundane.
Often, the light not only leads me to these subjects but also elevates these elements into something beautiful. When I’m successful, these images are about the interaction of light with the objects and not merely documents of the objects themselves.
