Star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight.... I have fond childhood memories of sitting outside in the NH night air with my father saying this childhood rhyme. Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight.
It has been a bit since I did any posts, so I am continuing to get back into the swing of things. The last few weeks have been spent doing behind the scenes stuff, including being picked up by the Fat Cat, Ltd in Oak Ridge, NC.
I needed to get back behind the lens after such a long drought, so I grabbed my camera and went out into our backyard. I had some real fun just shooting random shots while slowing down and absorbing the sights and sounds around me. Once I got done roaming, I took a moment to do some staged still life. Traditionally I don't do these type of shots as they are posed and not as organic, but to my surprise I found out something I had not realized. When you get REALLY up close to a sand dollar, they have a little star in the center. My macro lens picked it up as seen in the image in nice detail.
So for me these sand dollars mean a number of different things, the beach, warm salty air, ice cream, (mmm everything reminds me of ice cream) and the amazing beauty to be captured in the smallest of items.
