It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

Previsualization
Happy Easter! Yes, I know I am a bit late with this. But I have a good excuse... I went to photograph this Easter Lilly on Easter night, and realized the lighting was not what I had visualized. "Previsualization" is a term I learned from Minor White (and the term may have been coined by Ansel Adams, a contemporary of Minor's.) It is the act of imagining what the final photograph will look like, while you are looking through the viewfinder. I had a clear vision of how I wanted this blossom to look. So I wanted until this morning to get the "explosion" of light around the blossom, coming from the dining room window. It matched my imagining perfectly.
