Don Saunderson, An Audience with a Darter (ANIMAL 2024)

At my favorite spot, where I anticipated photographing the regular pelicans, a darter emerged, serendipitously gracing my lens with its elegance. A silent rapport developed between us, compelling me to document its poise in black and white. This approach accentuated the perpetual interplay of light and shadow, as well as the delicate textures, transforming a chance meeting into an unforgettable series.
