My intent was to use my Mavic 3 drone to capture colorful spring buds in the old growth forest on High Point Lake, near the Piedmont Environmental Center. The buds were not quite far enough along for a color photo. Instead, monochrome made for a much more interesting composition of the fractal branching of hardwood trees.

Contemplative photography encourages us to turn off the noise and distraction continuously streaming from our conscious mind, and instead, be present in the moment, and without prejudice or expectation, be open to seeing beauty and visual interest in the mundane.

This detail, from the house I posted a few weeks ago, shows signs of significant structural damage and decay. In my view, this is what makes the composition so interesting.
Stay cool and safe!

I work in Charlotte a few days a week and enjoy scoping out architectural pattern play and street photography. Captured this composition a few weeks ago from 3rd Street looking west. One day, consumer photo software will have AI to count the number of squares in this composition. For now, anyone care to guess?
