You have blackness surrounding the brightness of the leaf and the rain drops, thus illustrating that there is always light in the darkness. I took it around 5:30 at night, just as the sun was starting to set. At one of my friends house. It had just rained and the drops are what caught my eye. It shows the simplicity of nature, that even the smallest things can be incredible. Photo taken by Elizabeth Mills (Estados Unidos) - Nature

The Tree Swallows had just migrated back north and were very active and in large numbers on this gray day. I noticed that this swallow kept returning to this location and waited for it to come back.

This picture is special to me because, though we often take it for granted, light is the most integral part of nearly all life. When I shot this photo in my photography class, my goal was to show how vital and how incredible light is. Because no matter how great a photographer is, from the film, to the enlarger, to the scanner, it was light that allowed this piece of art to form.

I had a photography teacher, who encouraged me to "not look through the viewfinder" and just make photographs. This was one of the images I made in 1976 with a Rollei 35mm miniature camera and Tri-X film. I saw the man walking with this hat, and saw the shadow of a building on the wall behind him, that also resembled a shadow of a hat.
