My image Reflecting on a Leaf, now on exhibit at the International Exposition of Photography at the San Diego County Fair.

I’ve been working at images involving the effect known as surface tension, starting a year ago on Cape Cod where a first “catch” photograph initiated a personal quest. This image was taken in February, after one of our many storms. Without traveling, I found many photographs on the eucalyptus path on La Jolla Scenic Drive, and in my church’s parking lot where leaves like this one blew or got “rained down” into shallow water. In the process, I became a student of puddles, even a connoisseur.

With this result: a water-oriented photograph taken in southern California—after years of drought.
