FRAGRANT SUMAC
Impressionistic photography appeals to me more and more, in an age when hyper-saturated, incredibly detailed landscapes have become the norm. I’m looking for something different.
In this canyon the sumac leaves were shades of scarlet and orange and yellow and purple, and note how I chose to photograph them by presenting details of a sharp leaf against a pleasing out-of-focus blur of color. This is what portrait photographers strive for, and I think it works just as well in nature.
