Today was a bit of a blah day all around. I wanted to post a picture before bed to make myself feel better, figuring I would pick something cheery. However I think this picture kind of fits the mood. This is one time where I actually like the framing of the composition, and I wasn't even trying for anything. I like how the human figure is so dark calling your attention to it, but also how the figure looks so small in comparison with the rocks and water. I also think it is kind of cool how calm Ben looks after sliding down the cliff because he is completely focused on the butterfly, which is just this amazing, beautiful creature that lives for what a month? The whole thing is just a bit humbling and makes you happy to be alive.
