"Ultimately we know deeply that the other side of every fear is freedom." --Marilyn Ferguson When I look up at the top of the staircase that is my life's journey, I see a dark figure looking down at me. That dark figure is me. It is the inner voice that says be afraid, quit, you can't, don't bother, you're not good enough. It has been said fear is a question. Well, my answer is to keep climbing. The ghostly figure will disappear when I reach the top. 60/365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
The dark damp and mostly forgotten corners of the basement of the two-flat in which we live is a gold mine for cool subjects to shoot. Today I found this tiny old apothecary bottle and a clothespin on top of an old dust-covered cabinet with the fading late afternoon fall sunlight trickling through the one grime covered window.

"Don't rush me just this once I want to make this moment last Slow down the pace, there's no hurry I can't let another pass me by again Let me be the one to say when I've had enough" --from the song "Hold On" by Santana This last little leaf was one of only a handful that still had not taken that last dying leap to the ground below - holding on, hoping to make the season last just a bit longer. Shot on a cold, windy, and wet day in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The image was 7 shots, focus stacked, and processed in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop utilizing plugins from On1, Nik Effects, and Topaz Labs.
