A Thousand Words

I have finally entered the blogosphere. Welcome to my new blog. Each month I’ll feature a Photo of the Month — one of my newest photographs that I’ve added to my website Photography Portfolio: www.DouglasPage.com.

As we all know, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, so I won’t have to ramble on. My photographs can speak for themselves.

And while every picture tells a story, that story is different for every viewer because of their own individual experiences and the emotions or memories that photo triggers in their mind. There is also the story of how that photo came to be, so I’ll share with you the story behind the creation of the photograph.

Photo of the Week: Sunburst Through the Palms

I’ve always had a fascination with sunbursts. I’m referring to that magical, beautiful moment when the sun just barely emerges from behind a rock or tree or leaf and ‘bursts’ into rays of light radiating out from the source. This photo captures one of those moments, as the sun bursts through a perfect palm frond on the beach in Hawaii.

The rest of the story — the soft trade winds in the palms, the roar of the surf, the smell of plumerias, the warmth of the tropical sun on your skin — is yours to imagine. Aloha.
