Faith Over Fear

Black And White Photography, Cheryl, Photography


I have no idea who does it but someone places signs like this in random locations on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I saw another similar to this one over a year ago. When I got around to driving there to take the shot it was gone. This time I had to drive several miles to turn around and did so because I didn’t want to miss it. He/she posted two in this location so I have one more.

Mindfulness

I’m taking a Mindfulness in Photography class at my local community art school. The discipline is about “seeing’ first, before the brain jumps to conceptualizing, comparing past experience, and any number of internal or external distractions. How often had I missed seeing the beauty of the morning light falling over the dew collecting on an iris leaf in my koi pond?
