Essence

Santa Fe River Park

I am always in search of the perfect tree. I really don’t know what I’m looking for but I’m sure I’ll know it when I see it. This photograph comes close. It fits a preconception I have of Tree. Many times these preconceptions get in the way of seeing. As I sort through thousands of trees I have photographed I ask what makes this special? I concluded that it was not the tree, for all trees are special. It was my reaction to this tree, the photograph is a reflection of my feelings towards the subject. We see the world as we are.
