'It is not what you look at that matters. It's what you see.' – Henry David Thoreau
Last weekend, on walkabout with my camera, I stopped in at the McNaught Homestead, near Beaverlodge, Alberta, an anchor in my growth as a photographer, a place where I had taken one of two photoplayshops with two instructors calling themselves the Ditch Divas, likely in reference to their stopping for photos alongside roadways. The homestead, as with any farm, is an extraordinarily good place to look at how light, colour, shape and background work together as you consider and make a photograph. On my iPod, I was listening to Susan Sontag’s collection of essays entitled ‘On Photography,’ a good text to listening to at different points in your photographic growth. The photos that follow are taken at the McNaught Homestead. I enjoyed the time with camera and subjects.
Listening to – Krista Tippett’s interview with Eve Ensler of ‘Vagina Monologues’ fame; the interview focused somewhat on sexual violence toward women and later focused on moving on or through cancer treatment. Also, listening to Jack Johnson’s & G. Loves’ song ‘Jungle Gym,’ Tyler Bates’ ‘Ventura’ and ‘Mad World’ by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules.
Quote to Inspire / Consider – “To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability … [all] photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” – Susan Sontag, On Photography.

'Why be reliant upon secular media sources, literary works penned by atheists, and embittered hearsay to inform your views on religiosity, or worse still to bring about the lack thereof, isn't that as sensible as asking directions to KFC from Ronald McDonald?' ―T. C. M

Love the wagon wheel shots and seeing the different processing. Did you do a black and white?
Hi John:
I’ll be posting a black and white of a related image soon. I’m still aiming to understand how it is working … seems to be a matter of framing the same wheels among trees. It looks good in colour and black and white … but, in one way or another it seems staged in presentation, even though I’ve happened upon them. Maybe tomorrow.
Check back in a day or so.
Thanks for looking in … 😉
great pictures especially the first one, the blue light is incredible
Hello Marc …
Thank you for these kind words; and, thank you for encouraging me to explore more of your Aerophoto blog – I trust that you’ve also seen some of Moose Peterson’s work – aerial photography, as well … it is definitely worth having a look at.
