The Finer Details (Photography + Philosophy)

Do you see what’s in focus? The pieces of shell, the specks of coral, and the individual grains of white sand. All mixed together and the true subjects of this photo. Still only a portion of the log on which they rest is in focus, so it is these lucky few who are featured.

It’s always interesting to think of sand in individual grains, rather than a collective whole as a beach. But we often forget to do that unless if the sand is in an hourglass and time is working against us. Only then do we realize the true value of a single grain of sand.
