Sometimes, I am compelled to look for beauty in unusual places. The first time I shot in RAW, I was captured by the color purple. I named this one "Thistle Aria;" it sang to me. I have it framed in an 8x10 format, and it shares the wall with a group of other photos and canvases in my family room. It sings to me there as well.
