Darkness and Light.

Here's my parallel track. While I'm pondering Who is Wise and How?, I'm watching things like this.

A couple of weeks ago Joyce Ogden brought this autumn bouquet to fellowship hour at church. She'd put it together from her own gatherings, including carrots from her vegetable garden that had gone to seed.

She generously allowed me to bring it home to study.

After looking at it closely for two weeks, I set it up under a light tent on Sunday morning and shot a half-dozen images, some with straight lighting. others through several layers of black mesh netting. It took digital darkrooming to get it where it wanted to go for me.

The goal was to let the light grow from the bouquet, rather than having it be something applied from outside.
