Camera Position 129 : Finding Meaning in Details

I’ve long loved the detail image; the photograph that shows just a snippet of the larger world. In this episode, I look at an image of mine that has that sense of detail and also look at the historical referent of images by Ansel Adams that brought me to that place.

Think about the way focusing on the details of the world can help you create meaning in your images; work toward an understanding of the importance of what at first might seem insignificant.
