thank you. 

yes, much of my flash aversion comes from trying to manage the level of intrusion, out of a wish to keep the act process of recording the event from altering it for the participants.  Heisenberg comes to the camera, as it were.  but I have come to find that flash is equally intrusive into my own efforts to see things.  it's all about the light, it always has been, and it's been interesting to realise how many situations there are in which less is more. 

the leaves are where they fell.  generally, I will go to ridiculous lengths to alter point of view in composing an image in order to keep from altering a subject or setting.  when out about the Grove with camera I am tremendously reluctant to even move a branch aside if it can be prevented. 

I also try to produces images that yield new detail on further examination.  after all, that's the way the Grove is for me, and that's an aspect that I am anxious to capture and relate.
