UNAFRAID TO TAKE THE LEAD - for the scribes who speak in media print
Code: po10-02

THE
STORY:
It was the sparkle that caught my eye first. A star filter to refract the light in the ripples left by the family of ducks was at that point the only thing I was interested in. I knew it would be overexposed in the sparkles but an artist always explores possibilities. Numerous images stayed in my mind for months after I had downloaded the files to my catalogue. More recently when I reviewed the shots again an inspiration occurred to me that the follows had an inherent trust to follow their leader. I thought, they could be either fighting for position, doing there own thing or as is seen here, enjoying an orderly possession because they trusted the one who was leading them. Something in me went, wouldn't it be marvelous if we humans found a leader or leaders we could trust with such order. Would it not be that we could be living in a more harmonious world. Oh the issues of ego and pride, the root of all evils.
