Hidden or Revealed
« on: February 20, 2009, 07:49:15 PM »
I was talking with my wife the other day about a place near my work called the Greenway. In the winter it is almost barren and the things you wouldn't normally see are there, naked for all to see. Trash, wires, old shoes, soccer balls in the river, etc... In the summer all of that is covered up and everything is lush and green with the branches of trees hidden under a full coat of leaves.

So... Filmwasters are a different breed of photographer and tend to think deeply about this sort of thing. (At least that's my impression of the group in general :-) Do you have a preference? Not just summer or winter but a preference of revealing things in your photos or giving the impression of hidden things.

hopefully I understood the question,    but I like a good photo that speaks volumes, tells stories, things you can lost in and so on.

I just don't care much... a photo that works is just a photo that works.
