“I brought you something,” is what Zoe said as she reached into her bag. “An apple.” A healthy snack. How lovely, I thought as I glanced at the fruit. As I looked closer, I could not help but exclaim, “Wow, it is like a sunset held in your hand!” And what did she say?
She said, “Ha! I knew you’d see it. I picked it up and turned it around and knew you would see that landscape. Your challenge is to photograph it!” My stomach grumbled just a bit. “You mean I can’t eat it?”
“Of course you can, ” she said, turning away. “As soon as you figure out how to capture what you’re seeing. That’s all.”
I must say it was a bit maddening that day to travel home hoping I didn’t bruise the landscape. Did I capture it? I don’t know but I sure had fun trying. As I post these pictures, the landscape has been consumed. It was a tasty artistic adventure. I look forward to future challenges. ;)
