light

{linking up the above to here}

I love light. It's one of the things that made me want to start to photograph. I could describe why I like light but that would be cheesy and go somewhat like this:

I love the way it changes the feeling of the picture. I love the way it falls on leaves and grass, illuminating it. I love the way it blahblahblahblahblah.

So I'm not going to. I'm just going to say that in my opinion, the light is what makes the photo. If a painter handed you a blank canvas, you'd ask him why he didn't paint anything on it. Same goes for photographers. Light is our medium.

    1. it's totally fine if you want to change one of the pictures! I can't tell if you actually did or not because I don't remember them that well, but they are all lovely :)
