Feather On Book

“You know, though, there’s a crack between reading and becoming. One thing is not the other. A seam, it seems, and here it’s brought to life. Through it we are aware again of light.”

Bowl of Eggs

Joe gave me an assignment this weekend. Since I mainly work with dark backgrounds, he suggested I shoot something at the other end of the tonal scale. He suggested a white bowl filled with white eggs against a white background. Working in lighter tones like this does have its own set of challenges, but the day was ideal for what I wanted to do….overcast sky with diffused light. A fitting image with the coming of Spring and an imminent Easter holiday.
