Early Morning Light

“The camera only facilitates the taking. The photographer must do the giving in order to transform and transcend ordinary reality. The problem is to transform without deforming. He must gain intensity in form and content by bringing a subjective order into an objective chaos.” -Ernst Haas

I love the bright green plants against the earthy tones of the wall…and the dark window. Nice composition, Monte!

  I don’t remember what drew my attention except for the light and window. Seem to notice windows and doors.

And all along I thought your camera had an Auto-Awesome setting, Monte! Good quote and better photo.

  I checked the manual again and can’t find one. Maybe the next generation will have one.
