Jeremy Green “Leaves Fall” 11/18/16

The seasonal change in Texas is about as subtle as a Mack truck. Today the temperature went from a warm mugginess to a chilly crispness in a matter of minutes. The changes in colors though are quite subtle. Only a deep familiarity with this country allows for appreciation of the gentle nature of its seasonal transformation, but if you look, it’s there and it’s beautiful. This image was shot with my ever-present iPhone. I was standing on a friend’s deck checking out the flow of a stream that doesn’t always have moving water, and I was listening. This scene was at my feet. The cameras of the later models of iPhone are quite good, as long as you can accept that you’re stuck with a jpeg original. I’m not afraid to use my iPhone to make a picture, especially when my iPhone is the only camera immediately available. Editing software has come a long way too, allowing for quick and flexible development on the fly, down by a stream.
