We may suffer harsh winters, but at least we have this — 8 Comments

  1. Breathtaking! I’m a native Floridian and love it with all my heart but I envy you your beautiful autumns and snow in winter (well I might envy that for a week or two) 😉 I’ve been to New England for 2 summers but my dream is to go back for autumn & winter. Thanks for sharing some of your friend’s photos!

  2. “Seeing” and “eye” are indeed the key. Edward Weston made art out of ordinary things, peppers and toilets, by developing what he called a “stronger way of seeing.” His way of seeing enabled him to make the best nude photo ever done with a camera.

  3. Absolutely stunning and so worth posting so they can be enjoyed by many. Yes, those beautiful fall vistas are worth the price of some winter.

  4. Hmm, not sure I agree about the ‘seeing’ issue. At least, I don’t see it as the singular or overwhelming cause of average photography.
    In art, the real secret is volume. For the photographer, that means taking THOUSANDS of pictures. Surely, even if you are only of average talent, you’ll come up with a few pretty good photos. (I especially liked #2 of those you shared- the emphasis on the reflection rather than a balanced view of the trees and their reflection was nice).
    In the material arts, it’s all about producing volume to find the gems. In performance, it’s all about many practices and rehersals to make a good performance.

    Endurance and perseverance are probably the two most important traits of a good artist.

  5. Beautiful images!

    Is there any place in the US where it is legal to just burn a pile of leaves without going through hell getting a permit?

    *sigh* Ahhh, the good old days!
