In photography, we all tend to lean toward the representation of something we see in the world around us. In some way, many of us may be impatient painters of the scene or landscape that we enjoy seeing. Even though I enjoy taking a slightly different look at my environment, the same holds true for the vast majority of my work. That said, there are lots of moments when I see something not quit so representational.
Here’s one such moment…
This image from the autumn season of 2017 is certainly representational in one aspect. After all, it is a reflection of the mix of colors in the foliage in the rippled water of the Nashua river. At the same time, it gives a sense of impressionism in that it invites us to not look for the sharp detail, but rather the mood that we encounter in the colors and textures. Not quite as abstract as I’ve gone in some of my photography, but maybe a little bit and enough for this Saturday?
