With time, photographers learn that nearly everything within the frame looks different with a change of perspective. A move to the left or right, up or down, controls how elements in the frame relate to each other. The story changes, often dramatically, when we alter the angle from which we view it. A different lens, a different filter, and it changes again. The photographer with some experience understands that vision is not only what we see but how we see, and that’s as true with the camera in our hands as it is without it. In that way, life is not at all like a camera. Life is the subject.

As we face another day of overcast skies and cold weather I thought I’d like to share another image that represents a feeling of the cold. Stay warm.

It’s not always easy to decipher, but as you shared, the thing we point the camera at is not always the subject. Words of wisdom.

I do like how DuChemin puts words together. He does invite me to rethink.

And everyone’s perspective is unique. Ten (or a hundred) photographers could all shoot the same subject (even at the same time) and the resulting images would be different.

So ver true, Faye. Hoping you are safe, dry and warm.
