Beauty in the demise of things is a theme I always come back to.
Some may feel that it results in photos that are just a morbid scourge on the photography scene, but I beg to differ.
First I seldom go out in search of these shots. I am just usually happily shooting away in nature, and happen upon them
Death and dying is a considerably large part of nature, so as a wanna be photographer, I feel I should incorporate it into my work.
Certainly I have no hand in any of it. I generally just see myself as documenting it.
I am certainly not opposed to bring in a piece I find interesting and experiment with it in the studio.
I cannot explain it properly with words, but there is a sadness that is also accompanied by a last bit of beauty.
Perhaps it is like seeing the ruins of a great city and finding an awe about the civilization and the people that once had created it.
I limited myself to just examples of flowers and trees for this post, however, perhaps next time I will share some buildings and machinery.
Happy Hump Day
