Honorable Mention

Once Upon a Time
DESCRIPTION
This piece shows my unique approach to practicing Minimalism. I keep the composition as simple as possible, but leave a few subjects—usually two—in quiet conversation. In this case, the lighthouse and the moon. The subjects may be entirely unrelated. Placing them together in a single frame is the invention of a story. AUTHOR
