A ROOT THAT IS SHY AND TIMID

It takes someone with a measure of vigilance to seek out these random combination of things that seem to have arranged themselves in anticipation of someone who will happen along and appreciate the natural artistry. These scenes are largely missed as we go about seeking the next great photo chance. That's one reason I rarely shoot the temples that everyone wants to steer me to. My search is for humbler, more elusive prey that hides in plain sight.

If not for the rags, this image and the roots would have considerably less interest and punch, Daniel. To me, the image portrays them as having a friendly race to an unknown destination. Here's a paradigm of natural elements providing much grist for the abstract mill. - - My best always, michael

McRitchie Sama,Ichi ban Tomodachi..Most loyal observer, critics, and most objective friends. Your sincerity and relatedness to my imagers enhance my soul enormously. I said my... soul yet not my ego. With each of your visits/comments, I feel humbled and bow with respect, as do Opera Stars. Humbled by you, friends, and the audience. Kindness received....and bounced to you. My best to you gentlemen. DG

P.S.So goes for all the visitors and visitors who have left a kind visit notice. In all humbleness, I thank each and every one of you. Sincerely, DG

Dai Tomodachi, now dare I say, with your acceptance, Sensei. This comment I posted on another image, I wanted to share with you....Cher Larurent;, Amico Giangiorgi;, and Michael, always companion along the path...I am sincerely and humbly honored not only for your words but mostly for your kind visit to my portfolio. My feeling of relaxation and satisfaction is realized by comments and immersion in my work. My heartfelt thanks. I have realized that Photographs (capitalized/singular) are a very clear path to communication). Hello to each one of you, and sincere thanks. DG

As I move down the right side of this "landscape" I am reminded of a Japanese landscape painting with its foreshortened perspective where so much terrain is expressed in the limited dimensions of a canvas - an optical illusion of sort. The perfectly placed fabric brings me back to the magical world of the abstract. Well seen and designed image, Daniel.
