The Tree

If anything good is to come out of this period of self imposed isolation it is a heightened awareness of things around you.  Here I sit alone listening to every small sound and watching every movement of light coming through the windows within whatever room I happen to be occupying.  You are in some sense building a visual library of what is around you.

With all of the above in mind, I have been looking at a tree that resides in a yard about two houses from me.  I have become acutely aware that it’s appearance changes with changes in light.  It is simply an attempt to communicate how I see this tree over a short time period.  This period of sheltering in place has made me cancel out all those normal daily distractions and concentrate seeing one particular thing that I may have not really noticed before.   And, this is what a photographer tries to achieve…the isolation of an idea or simply put, the creative process.  This is something we all can do to develop our visual senses while in limited spaces. The images are meant to be a visual appreciation of a simple natural object, a tree.

All images shot using Sony A7II camera at 6:30pm.  I can be contacted at nymacc@gmail.com  for questions or comments.  All comments pro or con appreciated.
