i am going to indulge in a bit of hyperbole and boldly say i think this image may be one i was born to create. it contains everything i want in a photograph, and in life: deep, abiding quiet; simplicity; tenderness; beauty; the oneness of all things, but especially small things in the natural world. this image speaks truth to me. i am so very happy i found it, printed it and can share it with you.
