Lucky
Image #2 - “Lucky” Mid Oct. 2016 This was my first photo shoot after my hospital release.
I checked myself out of the hospital earlier than recommended. I was elated to be home and safe but was physically weak and in considerable pain. During my hospital stay, I was repeatedly told how fortunate I was to have survived.
Emotionally I could only handle neutral subjects - simple thoughts were best.
Bright color was right in front of me. I sat on my deck and blankly stared.
'How easy to make something beautiful from what is already so beautiful" I think.
I collect the leaves with my camera and then later on my computer. I follow my usual procedures to compose the image. I remove jarring bits and smooth it out for a pleasing result.
"I am lucky."
