This was taken over a month ago and is one of the photos that I'd describe as "modest photography".
That's a term I've invented for a photography that draws attention to slight phenomena or humble objects, depicted in an undramatiising way. It's deliberately unimpressive.
Thus, I finds myself in a contradictory position: I have to decide which unimpressive photo is most impressive.
That's a paradox I can live with because the possibilities of modest photography are endless. It opens one up to a totally different understanding of the art. Liberated from the obligation to seek evermore transcendental or memorable imagery one is free to find value in the commonplace, the overlooked.
I shall next explore this further with photos of little grey stones, small piles of sand, scraps of litter or small fallen leaves.
