It's easier in photography for me, because I feel that I'm "channeling" something for Nature, letting it speak for itself. But in writing, it's MY job to get it on the page, and that isn't easy. It does take practice. But then, sometimes, it never gets said, as you say.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034897510911253920.post-59286048081930840162008-05-23T23:18:00.000-03:002008-05-23T23:18:00.000-03:00A great post for thought - and you have received s...A great post for thought - and you have received some nice comments. Perhaps you are following the same path because I see that your posts contain that passion and beauty that O'Keeffe became famous for! I see in your work both the attention to detail as well as sense of place.
