Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky
Not a negative word was heard
From the people passing by
’twas a sunny day
All the birdies in the trees
And the radio’s singing song
All the favorite melodies
Paul Simon
May 22nd. 52 degrees Fahrenheit; overcast.
I am taking a photography class at the International Center of Photography and we were showing our work last week. A particular picture of mine came up, May 5 bright, sunny, endless sky, endless river, and the teacher remarked that this was very different from most of my other work which used a much darker palette. He did clearly catch a truth and have a real insight about the work I have been making but I do feel that some of that has been pushed on me by the reality of the weather.

In this photo, I love the pop of green against the blur of movement that is the bird.

Thanks Andra, It was one of those snap shots where either you and the shutter are fast enough or…the green does pop though, doesn’t it

Something’s wrong with the link to May5th, but anyway … this is SO interesting, about the course. I’ve never had anyone look at my pictures that way. I like to shoot birds and little flowers LOL.
Simon & Garfunkel were all part of my youth, thank you for reminding me of this song.

I think I fixed the link but WordPress is acting a little oddly this morning. The class is really good and very beneficial.

oh, I remember that picture well … because I really liked it.
You said it so well, at the end of your post: «…by the reality of the weather».
