Matt Payne Photography
Ghosts in the Forest
I've probably looked at this set of trees 100 times over the years but this year was the first time I felt compelled to photograph them. Perhaps it was the quality of light or the state of color. My theory is that it is because I'm much more aware of what is around me that catches my eye. The progression as a photographer is a slow but enjoyable one, for sure!
Early Light catches the white bark of aspen trees in a forest near Ridgway, Colorado. I just loved how only a few trees had yellow leaves left, making for a very intimate scene which I feel like encapsulates the essence of fall in Colorado.
