The Chaos Theory Of Photography - Van Dusen 9778e
Sometimes I find leaves more interesting than flowers.
This is just repost of an archive shot in 2013.
Have a great weekend!
The following is the original story with the picture.
In the past, I always thought photographers are like scientists. They want to find order out of chaos. Just as Ansel Adams said, nature is a chaos and we have to organize and arrange it with our photographic composition.
When I am more and more into photography, I have now the feeling that photographers and artists actually do like chaos. Because chaos represent surprises, uncertainty and non-repetitiveness. And those are actually characteristics of arts. Sometimes artists use some unusual tools like human body parts, animals etc as paint brush or other techniques. This is the chaotic effect that they are looking for.
This is the "chaotic" composition of maples in Van Dusen Garden. Compared to the last composition that displayed more orderly pattern, this is like a chaos. It reminds me the Chinese painting technique called "splash-ink painting" 潑墨. The painter will not know what kind of subject he/she will be painting until the shape of the ink splash shows up on the paper.
Have a great Friday!
Of course I am not talking about the chaos theory in science or the second law of Thermodynamics. :o)
