My favorite acacia tree shot in Kenya, blended with a different background than in the original post. Full screen will make for a better view.

This is Paul and my motto. Now what we mean by that is, most people will photograph something in the ‘obvious’ way= with the sun behind them or a gentle sidelight, the rule of thirds well observed! But, like I’ve said before, you can only start ‘breaking’ the rules IF and WHEN you know them… so, by doing that, you often take a photo in a way, through comp, or angle or tonal values that is NOT ‘normal’= NOT the obvious= beyond the obvious.
I think creatives have a penchant for wearing head-dress of the stranger kind, a bit eccentric, out of the ordinary???
Most photographers seem to have some kind of ‘headgear’, I’m no different, this black number has protected me from snow, rain and sun… and I have protected it from the wind… and flying off into the sea or the great blue-yonder.

I wanted to do a portrait with a difference, with strong contrast, BEYOND THE OBVIOUS, there are quite a few things in it that make me very recognisable to people who know me, unmistakably.
It is not just through our faces that we are defined; we have many attributes that give us our identity.

Have a bright day and thanx for viewing, Magda, (*_*)
