Behind The Lens

Location

Geneva NY where I Grew up the first part of my life

Time

8 o'clock in the morning. I just pulled in my aunt's driveway from an all night drive from Wilmington NC

Lighting

Because of the storm(The Polar Vortex) they called it. Everything just naturally looked black and white to me. There was almost an eerie feeling to it, but it was beautiful at the same time.

Equipment

I used my Google Pixel 7

Inspiration

My grandfather planted this tree for me the spring after I was born. At 7 years old, I fell out of it(it was much smaller then) and broke my first bone. The last time I saw this tree before this picture was taken, I was 20. I'm 39 now, and my grandfather has long been gone... The tree will forever be the connection that still lives between him and I.

Editing

I did nothing to it at all. You're seeing it, how I saw it.

In my camera bag

If you want me to be 100% honest with you... I never tote my camera around... I almost ALWAYS use my cell phone

Feedback

Patience.... You'll know when the timing is right for a perfect Shot
