STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS 6: Autumn Ecstasy
My first instinct is to simplify compositions to a few well-chosen elements. Look at my body of work and you can see how I edit the world, cutting the chaos of sights around us in order to highlight some special or dramatic feature. But in this photograph I chose to let nature be nature; letting chaos reign in a show of exuberant color, line, and texture. The rocks are blue because they are in the shade and are colored by the sky, not the sun. The maples and birches of the hillside across the river are in the sun, with their brilliant autumn colors reflecting on the stream’s surface. The stream is moving, blending the colors.
