Seeing and Provoking Thoughts

So often when I am out with my camera my goal is to shoot images that clearly deliver a message. For example - A picture shows a great blue heron, or maybe a different image features a pretty sunset. Those types of images are fine and often a goal of mine.

There are times, however, when I want to compose photos that provoke thoughts. Which bird lost a feather? How far has that feather floated down the creek? How did fungi spores end up on a log in the river? Hopefully you understand what I am trying to do with my work when I am not shooting “specimen” images.

Yesterday and today’s images are just that - pictures that hopefully generate questions. I know they did for me.
