Cottonwood Leaves, Autumn. Yosemite Valley, California. October 31 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Leaves, wet from morning frost, litter the ground near the banks of the Merced River
During my recent visit to Yosemite Valley to photograph autumn subjects, I kept seeing a particular stand of very small cottonwood trees growing densely close together near the Merced River. They were in a spot with somewhat tricky lighting, and the first few times I saw them the light was not ideal, so I filed the subject away mentally and figured I would come back and shoot them in the right light. Eventually, I returned, and although the light was still not ideal for the photograph I had in mind - and did not make yet on this trip - I decided to walk out to the trees and take a look and perhaps make a few close-up photographs.
None of the trees are taller than perhaps fifteen feet and some are only a couple of feet tall, but they grow together densely. (My hunch is that in some future decade when they mature only a few of them will survive.) I began by photographing groups of their vertical trunks from outside the grove, looking for interesting relationships among the forms of their trunks and for a few spots where a solitary leaf was still stuck in the branches of a tree. Then I walked into the grove, looking at the trees themselves and at the ground below, which was some combination of dew-soaked and flattened grass mixed with the leave that had fallen from the trees.

out and about yesterday, so I did this in pen and ink . I found that drawing the characters who wandered along across the way from where I sat in the park expanded the range of characters a lot. Though this is a total departure from my usual way of more sustained observation, so that is progress, totally. Composition, layout and much else inspired by a drawing posted by johnefrench
As i havent uploaded any photo lately i leave you this drawing im almost finishing, i think my skills are improving :)

"That Was Low"
Tears streaming down my checks
As i think into the night,
Of my heart thats been torn apart.
You were my best friend
I trusted you, with all my heart
Lonely and hurting,
Not knowing, not trusting,
Engulfed with despair
Weak and exhausted
Life changing, spinning out of control,
And all you do
Is run off with some hoe
Well that was low.
A small urge to draw a Taiora sketch. Sadly I don't feel comfortable with TaichixSora any longer so he feels a bit uncomfy too. ^^;;; I still need to practice bodies and stuff, but some random stuff I've been working on. ^__^;
Disegno dell'ETR450 da me realizzato a matita nel 2000.
L'amore tra me e l'ETR450 è stato un vero e proprio colpo di fulmine (vedi le foto a lui dedicate dove racconto del mio viaggio) e in preda all'appetito un bel giorno dell'anno 2000 ho preso foglio e matita e... l'ho disegnato, ispirandomi ad una fotografia scattata dal sottoscritto alla stazione Termini in uno dei miei pellegrinaggi "Pendolineschi" nella città eterna.
Lo condivido con tutti voi con l'intenzione di farvi vedere una cosa diversa da una fotografia.
