Photo Breakdown | Emerging Spring

One of my favorite images made this spring came from an ordinary daily walk. I noticed a back lit young tree, with its branches fanning out and its leaves beginning to emerge from the stems. I realized that I could line up the subject tree with a dark, older, and much larger background tree to make it stand out. I love the light and energy of this photo. I think the Kodak T-max 400 black and white film used to make this image adds just the right amount of grain, giving it an organic feel.
