How Do I.....?
August 1, 2012 
How do I take three simple elements and create a full and interesting composition?
How do I make balance..out of imbalance? Or - how do impose a sense of imbalance on what has been thoughtfully balanced?
How do I find depth and richness of experience and color..when I'm given such a limited palette with which to draw from?
How do I find brevity and clarity...and the more in the less? Or - is it the less I'm seeking in what could be so much more?
How do I find harmony?
How do I find dissonance?
How do I find the challenge and the new..in what has been seen so many times before?
How do I see?

Your work is beautiful Marcie. It never fails to stop me from doing what I'm dong and look closer. Thank you for sharing!
one of my favorites!! all the lines come together so well....
Beautiful colors in this, and lovely framing, too.
it's all about geometry
I think you've been watching a LOT of the Olympics. HA! I love it. :)
You so know how Marcie!!! Love the simplicity!
I love the beauty of this simple composition.
Marcie - great post. The questions we struggle with each day, as photographers - how to see something new in the sameness of our everyday.
How do you see?
Very, very well.
Seeing with fresh eyes, through both the lens and life, is always the challenge, isn't it? Wonderfully put! Your image supports your words perfectly...
You see with fresh eyes.
Before you asked the first question, you'd found it. Before I answered the first question, so had I. Lovely! Your posts delight the spirit.
Your white vignetting gives the bench an almost translucent appearance which adds some extra magic to the interesting but simple composition.
Exquisite.
How can a word like 'how' have only three letters ?
seems like you've done a good job framing this one already.. :)
It is a mystery to me. You do it so very well!
