Yellow Leaf (2003)

When photographing, I often exploit my independence from film – I take a number of shots of the same subject. Still, I also discipline myself not to delete images from the camera’s memory card until I see them on my computer screen.

This image was one of about fifteen I took of this branch. Some focused on the leaf, some on the branch. Some were oriented to have the branch straight and the leaf diagonal, and vice versa.

Looking at the images on the LCD screen on my camera, this would have been one of the images that would have been up for deletion. Luckily, I held onto it long enough to see the great detail in the barck of the branch.
