post #9
Thanksgiving weekend, our first chilly weather, a funeral visitation for Cobern Fannin whose garage/gas station has kept various vehicles of ours going for years and years -- all these changes make me think of a reality that photography has helped me be aware of, that change is a large part of the work I do. In an earlier post I wrote of the importance of Being There. And of Never Knowing What Might be Important. Now I add Look for Whatever (which includes Celebrate chance and change and Appreciate people you meet.)

Pair #2 happened this fall. For a week I passed by these bales of hay lined up, sometimes in sun, sometimes in shade. Last year I had filmed my neighbor Herman as he mowed those hillsides and made his bales, but I didn't see any lined up the way they were this year. I had to wait for morning light, so I took the photo, now a digital one, the day my husband and I were driving to Lexington. (Where I live, the term neighbor isn't limited to next door.) By the time we noticed a section of the hillsides that had not yet been cut for hay, I was in a hurry, taking only a few shots. I've made note cards out of both images, shown here with their card titles.

Two different views of same places, three paragraphs when I've promised only two per post, thus, "four" the moment, thanks as always, Ann
Ann, these images and your reflections are fabulous. Thank you so much for documenting your work for all of us, even those less gifted with visuals than you...

Ann, thanks for sharing your photos and the process. I, too, have experienced trying to capture one image and being led to other worthy images. For me, a great benefit of using my camera is how it slows me down and encourages me to focus.
