Sympathy

DSC00060 - Imperial Palace - Kyoto - Copy(c) blog size

A girl is photographing tiny red flowers against a backdrop of green leaves. Beautiful flowers. Beautiful girl.

Her attentive gaze perceives colour, life and beauty in a minuscule detail of nature. Her gesture betrays a modest, sensitive spirit.

And me? I see the outstretched arm, take in the whole scene at a glance and capture the moment.

One response to “Sympathy”

  1. Very nice post. I don’t think of myself as the photographer of being “part” of the photo. But your lovely, poetic description has given me a lot to think about. Thanks!
