Hello to all.
Many of you are familiar with Kat Eye Studio, This is the site that I had participated in last year with my Photography. I really enjoyed it, so when I read that she was doing a once a month photo-heart connection blog, Well you know I was all in. This next paragraph is what got me hooked.
These are her words."When we get down to it, what is a photo-heart connection? A heart connection is, for me, a reaction that bypasses my brain. It’s not about what I think of the image, or how technically good it is. It is not about how others will react to it. It is how the image makes me feel. When I have a heart connection, I feel it in my body. There is a little jolt, that tells me of a strong connection. Have you ever noticed how we feel emotions in our body first? Even though we will have thoughts that accompany emotions, they arrive split seconds later. I want to tap into the signals from my body, before my brain starts to filter, and then explore what I find through this process."
This is so what taking pictures is about for me. So this will be my first in this series.
I normally stay away from man made objects in my photography, so taking this was a surprise from the start. However, I resisted 2 times and then just felt compelled to snap it.... As I studied it for this blog I remembered the goosebumps I felt and how I fell in love with reflection of the colors of the sky in the water and the wind whispering peacefully into my ear.
I am not a huge fan of piers either, so what was the fascination with this pier as well? I realized it was a Snapshot of my life's path over my element of water that I so need in my life. There are possibilities of what might be seen with every step. Then there is the covered portion... reminding me that we need Nourishment and shelter along our path as well. As you walk a little further out to the end there are several Lights and a bench I believe... Where one can sit and watch the underwater world as well day or night as I could reflect on the many "highlights" of this journey as well.
