I’ve enjoyed playing with Instagram. Sometimes its filters have a way of making the photo look to the eye like the image represented feels to my insides, adding a layer that closes that gap between intention and expression and compensating for my failures as a photographer.
But some images are so pure and beautiful that filters are unnecessary, even unwelcome.
Here was the view up High Street as I was loading the kids into the car last Thursday morning.
And here is a shot, taken 20 minutes later, of the fields across the street from Alden’s school.
No talent required to take these photos. No technique needed.
I just happened to be there with my shutter open. The sunshine did the rest.
