This is one of my favorite images. That marvelous day at the Biltmore, I was using a point and shoot Canon. I wished at that time for a better camera, not knowing the magic yet. And by the magic, I mean that as Minor White said, “Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen”: in pressing the shutter button, I was chosen to capture this very moment. I stuck the camera in as close as I dared, hoping not to incite the anger of this little being. Even though I was close and marveled at the sight, when I looked at the image on my camera, I was awestruck.
The world is a beautiful place, and it’s in the treasure hunt that we discover it. What we look for multiplies.
I wonder, what will you find today?
The Next Nova: this is the space for my bright ideas.
