Me Ra Koh

Play around with shooting silhouettes this summer.ย  Allow yourself to fail and try again and again.ย  Instead of looking for the light, watch the light dissipate and see what beauty can be found in the darkness.

    I think I’d like to choose the background of a dark tunnel in the bowels of Angkor Wat’s temples ๐Ÿ™‚ I’ll settle for something closer to home for now though, so I can be practiced up when I get the opportunity for some exotic place (looks like maybe Africa next year).
    This post made me think of a quote I love by Ruth Renkel…
    “Never fear shadows. They simply mean there’s a light shining somewhere nearby.” Praying for a blessed day for you today!
