Photo of the Week

Rose Hips and Snow
© 2008 John Lehet

Rose Hips and Snow, Lyme, NH, 2008

This is another photo that creates its own feeling and sense of time and space. While a snowfall piled that deep and fluffy is always dream-like, I don't think the feeling outside my door was quite as dreamy as this photo suggests. I've always liked to try to convey the sense of delicacy of "five shades of white," to quote the poet Jorie Graham.

"...I try to wind my way
between what's here: chalk, lilly milk
titanium, snow --"

This makes me want to have more roses and rose-hips in my life...

The Photo of the Week is a photo not otherwise on the site, and not for sale yet. It might be fresh from the camera, a new scan of some old film, fooling around with Painter, or a file from the archive that I haven't printed yet. email me if you're interested in a print of the weekly photo, or if you have any feedback. Mostly these will disappear back into my archives; a few will eventually find a home on the site.
