Day 203 of 365 - Light, May It Shine

What is it about light? Ever since I started this project, I have become so much more aware of light in all its forms and affects. I’m coming to understand that light in a picture can either be your best friend or your worst enemy. When I see pictures I like, it seems as if the photographer has shaped the light for their own purposes, bending it to the benefit of the picture. I’m just now beginning to understand its true power and nature.

I can see now how for granted I take light and it makes me look at other things in my life. Am I missing the beauty in the simple and common things that I take for granted? Regretfully I have to answer yes. I feel as if I am at the first step in a long process of understanding and appreciation. So, light, may it shine friendly on my understanding of all that is so common in my life that I can see the true beauty that it illuminates.

And so it goes...
