A sleepy silence clouds over Winnipeg as the rain softly drips on the roof as it trails on the windowpane. April showers are lovely. It smell of life; of waking up from the cold winter. But that was yesterday, tomorrow brings promises of blue sky and longs walks by the lake.
One of my photographer friends once introduced me to Sally Mann's work and her basic notions of photography: "Shoot what you know," and "you can find great images right in your own backyard." It's easy to forget that simple, truthful beauty emerges from ordinary things and can be found in every little corner of our homes and everyday lives. Tracey's kitchen windowsill offers views like this each morning. When we seek out the subjects that slow us down and give us perspective, what we see then become imbued with a sense of quality and beauty.
