I took this photo in the redwood grove at Shoup Park. The girl, the subject of the picture, seems as if she’s hiding behind the tree, or as if the camera has caught her. I believe that this candid style of photo is similar to the way that humans feel when we see strangers. Those …
To answer this prompt, I chose to photograph lichen on a fallen stick. This represents aging to me because this lichen covered stick came from a tree, which once grew from a sapling and a seed.
