WEEK THIRTY-SEVEN: LOOKING UP

150525-crystalriver-065-light

Sometimes it’s amazing what you see when you simply look up. Swaying high above me, the heads of these palms were transformed by the late afternoon light. I think it was the yellow-glow of the flower stalks against the deep blue sky that drew my attention. The palms were the subject; the moon just sort of got in the way.

I am a semi-professional photographer, with the passion of a true amateur, drawn primarily to nature and travel, but open to and intrigued by most everything. In 2014, I began working on a 52-Week Photo Project, posting one photo a week that expressed something about that week – a theme, a story, a feeling. My intent was to add an element of story-telling to my work. That project was successfully completed in September 2015 and is all stored in the archive here. After a several month break, I began a new 12-month project. Each month in 2016 I will present a group of carefully curated images – a sort of thematic portfolio – along with an essay. My intent is to improve my editing skills and, of course, motivate me to keep on shooting. Please follow me and let me know what you think. You can see more of my work on my website: www.kathleengillphotography.com.

    1. Your beautiful photo brings much more than an upward view of two palms in rich afternoon light. I think the moment you’ve captured gives the palms “personality” and the appearance that they are looking down at YOU with a bit of curiosity! What a great shot!
