Inner Beauty
I can’t believe that I took this photo for 52Frames seven months ago! This year has been a blur.
Here’s the original text that went with this image:
Although I am not a Buddhist, Zen resonates with me. Since wabi-sabi is described as “the material representation of Zen Buddhism,” I loved thinking about and doing this assignment!
This is a dry oak leaf encased in ice. There is something so poetic about winter to me. We, and all living things, are most vulnerable in the winter. It’s a time of going inward. A time of contemplation. Sometimes, like for this leaf, it’s a time of death.
A lot of people complain about the colder months, but if you look closely (and are properly dressed for the cold), there’s beauty everywhere. As photographers, perhaps our greatest gift is to photograph things in a way that shows the true nature of something. It’s inner beauty. I hope that I’ve accomplished this here.
TD: f/16, 2.5 sec, ISO 80, @85 mm
