It can be so enriching. Like getting paid double, the beauty of the subject and understanding of it.

In a way you took the above photos out of an initial attraction to the principles of art. The locks were sculptural with great texture and pattern. The sticks were repeating patterns with a strong directional composition. However, once you discovered the meaning behind these images they took on an increased value. Also it was interesting to me to see that one image was about love and the other about belief and blessings. Maybe there is no coincidence that you were drawn to these seemingly random photos. If one were to meditate upon them for a little while it would seem to me that perhaps they both represent two of the most important aspects of life, namely love and Belief in a higher power. Interestingly too is that love and belief can only exist in the world if there is faith. Consequently you took these two images on faith, knowing they held special value. You never questioned their power and loved them for what they were. Now you know that your faith paid off and the value of your images is great. I really appreciate your sharing this story with us. jerry eisner HI Tim, i think you make a very important point in the above entry and it is something i will pass on to my students in future classes that i teach here at the high school photography program.
