Red Canoe

Down the road and round the bend,

Pat yells from the passenger seat..

"LOOK, HONEY !!  "

and, sure enough there was a red canoe.

So, just like Wallace Nutting must have done

back in the 1900's...when he photographed: Pine Landing.

We stopped and worked the subject.

Perspective, focal length, color balance, water condition,

and timing. Since the wind was blowing and the boat was moving.

OK, it is a cliché, but things become that way 

because they work!

Because they have a certain universal appeal.
