Behind the dense corn leaves, a grasshopper stares silently into the lens. It doesn't jump, nor does it hide. Perhaps it feels safe in its green home, or perhaps it's curious about the presence of this strange creature carrying light.
The details on its body are like natural carvings, its wings neatly folded, and its eyes convey a subtle sense of alertness. In the insect world, everything moves quickly, but in this portrait, time seems to stand still.
The black and white creates a different feel. There are no striking greens or bright colors to distract, only the shapes and light do the talking.
I love moments like this, when the little things in nature teach us about the serenity, simplicity, and beauty hidden within the stillness.
