PhotoHunt: Wooden

I took this in 2006, as part of the Arboretum Project. Based on how this winter has been, I'm glad I picked such a mild year weather-wise to do that series, because I'm not sure I would have enjoyed hiking up and down hills in waist-deep snow.

I'm so glad I did the project, though. I had no idea I was a photographer before that winter. And the training it gave my eye is unarguable. To keep coming up with photos week after week, I had to begin really looking around me. Especially given that I began in January. It's not like new things are blooming every week then. Not a lot of change in January. Some change, yes. But not like in May and June.

This is a split-rail fence I walked by for months before I really noticed it. As soon as I read the topic for this week, this image popped into my head. I just had to go find it in my files.

What a unique point of view! The textures and lines here are wonderful.

I know exactly what you mean about photography making you notice things. I think that's what got me hooked. I'm new to the hobby, but I love it already.

Thanks so much for your comment on Maraca!

Thanks! I'm not sure why, but I have a real thing for close-up and macro work. I wouldn't have discovered it either without that year-long project.

I love that shot! Great texture, and a very well treated subject. Excellent!
