At first glance, the scenery outside was pretty dull. Out of the five photos I took, four of them were just portraits of the various uninteresting objects one might expect to find in the area surrounding a middle school in February. But as the sun came out and perfectly hit a bush, I decided to seize the serendipitous moment and document it. Since that's the whole point of photography. I ended up with this.
I'm pretty proud of it. Someone said to me,"You have the ability to take something really ordinary and make it look beautiful". This kind of struck me because the book I'm currently reading talks about the same thing-an art curator takes these paintings and turns them from objects of beauty to objects of value, leaving the reader to wonder if it's truly she who is the object of beauty. Not that I regard myself as an object of beauty but, you know...I do. I'll stop drawing parallels between myself and fictional characters now.
I am marveling at this photo. The iPhone screen didn't do it complete justice. I love the lonely beads of water. You made art.
