"We bear witness to what we have seen. What we choose to photograph and how we photograph it says what we think, feel and believe about the subject, about the world and about ourselves. Our photography is the world made visible through the lens of our soul" Joe Cornish, English photographer speaking about the art of photography.

I could have used that quote a couple of days ago when a newbie actually told me that I should shoot waterfalls how HE wanted to see them!!! What a jerk. I may have to steal your quote or refer folks to it. :)

I do like this rock. I didn't see it. I was probably trying to catch up with our daughter.
good job, doug!

lisa, one mile each way. if you can park at the upper campground area then it's half a mile each way. we chose the one mile each way hike.

Thanks, MM! I love how the water polished that big rock over the centuries, yes, raw force of nature. We are humble by comparison!!

Benny, I can take some credit for the image, but the words I found in a magazine articlein a British photography magazine. I thought it was a very good view of the photographic art. Thanks for you comments, once again.
