Color, Rain, and a Solitary Leaf
This image, Autumn Rain, came together in the quiet moment just before a downpour. I was in
Stillness and Motion in a Single Frame
On a quiet walk near a small creek in Maine, I spotted this single red leaf suspended in a pool of water. A soft rain had just begun to fall, creating gentle ripples across the surface. The contrast between the vibrant red and the cool, muted tones of the water pulled me in. It was an image of stillness, but also of transition—like the season itself.
This was one of several scenes that stopped me in my tracks during that trip. While I captured many images in black and white, this one spoke clearly in color. It’s a visual haiku: minimal, balanced, fleeting.
Autumn Rain is part of a small group of companion images—including Adrift, Autumn Remains, and First Frost—each offering a different emotional read on the same quiet creek in Maine.
