The Small Things

What make a photo interesting to you? I am not always sure myself. Some photographers think you have to tell a story to make a photo worth anything. Others seem to feel technical proficiency is what is really important, or maybe it is looking at something in just a different way. I was thinking about why I like to photograph things today. Many of my photos are never even seen by anyone but me. Every day for the past week I get the mail I have noticed this small feather in the grass, probably from a tiny songbird, I don’t know. I also do not know why I notice it every day. Today as I passed by I again took notice as it had been weathered and frayed over the rainy days. Tiny drops of water had collected on it. I decided to make it a photo subject, and to be honest, I have no idea why. It makes an interesting question, why we notice what we notice, or like what we like.
