Multnomah Falls
The other day I was showing my students a Dewitt Jones video on creativity. He talked about shooting Yosemite Falls, and it brought back memories of when I was at Multnomah Falls in Oregon. I started by shooting the entire falls, very postcardish. Interesting, but not very creative. I felt like it was nothing special. Anybody could do that. So I started looking for what was really interesting, as Dewitt Jones would say, “another right answer.” I found just a small section of the whole image that to me made a much bigger statement. The sharp, crisp foreground placed against the flowing water of the upper falls was wonderful! It had depth. It had mood. It had feeling. It was different.
