holding on to

An uncanny pairing for today’s Daily Photo Game. I loved making this image at the Scottsdale Butterfly preserve, I remember making it quite clearly. The striking contrast between the dark shaded trunk and the iridescent pattern of the Butterfly wings was incredible. Nearly as incredible is how Robert’s image “Grin” and this image “play” together. It is worth seeing them as a pair, which our website does not offer unfortunately. So I have posted a version of them together here. I visualize the images for our Daily Photo Game as diptychs – the combination of the image preceding today’s photograph, or the image following today’s photograph – these visual conversations are the best and truest nature of our Game, IMHO. Like the brief shutter speed that captured this image, the butterfly flew off seconds later, and this photograph is the only temporal remains of that moment.
