There is one thing the photograph must contain, the humanity of the moment.

This photo is my 400th on Instagram. In the beginning, there were quote photos that shifted to yoga, changing again to several other posting styles and now, I’ve settled into a playful mix of yoga, sun and travel photos.
Black & White
You may have noticed the yoga photos are in black and white. I choose to present them this way because I feel color can be distracting and takes the focus away from the subject or meaning of the photo. To me, yoga is raw and honest. I want the feeling of the pose to be the subject of the image.
Adding Color Back In
Conversely, my color photographs share a different story. Strong emotions are associated when confronted with color, because we see in color. When I chase light, the warm, vibrant reds, yellows and oranges tempered with soft greens and blues in the images made fill my soul with delight.
Be Free!
So this, my 400th photo, is a self-portrait of both. Tree pose with eagle arms 1000 feet above the lake below, my yoga partner the setting sun. Breathing in and allowing calm, basking in the warmth of deep yellows and orange, floating to a place where I am free.
