Places

Fallen Colour

A note on wet ground, scattered leaves, and looking down instead of out.

Fallen red leaves scattered on dark wet ground

Looking down changes the pace of a walk.

The large view disappears and small things begin to matter: leaves, wet ground, colour caught in dark texture. The photograph does not explain where it was made, and that anonymity helps.

Sometimes a place is best remembered by what it leaves underfoot.

Small details like this are part of why I avoid rushing through sessions. In family photography and wedding coverage, the overlooked pieces often become the texture that makes a gallery feel personal.
