"I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains." --Anne Frank A trio of flowers cling to life as the death of autumn falls around them.

"Men have become the tools of their tools." --Henry David Thoreau I have a pile of old electronic parts sitting in a box in my office - old RAM sticks, failed hard drives, broken headphones, parts of things long forgotten and more. As when I was a kid, they are all saved with the thought that someday I'll fix it or make something of it. The thing is, I never do make anything. The menagerie of misfit electronic parts just continues to gather dust in the corner. Maybe someday the pile will reach a critical mass and make something of itself. Perhpas then, it will be us humans in the corner... 29/365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
To me, the tops of pumpkins have always looked like the stumps large twisted and gnarled trees, long ago removed by the village axman. That just added to the scary and creepy aspect of a well-carved jack-o-lantern at Halloween. With this shot, I wanted to capture that "tree stump" aspect of the autum squash by isolating the stem and removing most of the color to emphasize the texture and shape. 28/365 Copyright 2015 Scott Norris Photography www.scottnorrisphotography.com
