This month, K. Vanessa Van Winkle contributed her film photography series titled "Fall In Finley On Film", more of her work that was featured in this issue can be found in our nature art and poetry feature and in our November art and poetry post coming at the end of this month. The following statement is from K. Vanessa Van Winkle on her process and her visit to Two Rivers Park.

"When I have a camera in my hands, I'm always listening for the world to whisper. When I feel it pulling some imagined kindred work of art out of me, those whispers can turn to clear song, and I'm learning day by day how to dance along.

In black and white, I have tended to focus on singulars most—a tree, a building, a friend. A personal conversation.

In colour, I have found myself drawn towards whole landscape scenes—choirs of the right place at the right time, suited in contrasts or compliments of vibrance. The ballet we often overlook.

"Fall In Finley On Film" was my first visit to Two Rivers Park.

While I went for the birds, I was struck by the views. Everywhere I looked there was nature poured into perfect framing, and I could not help myself but to shoot WAY too much film.

It certainly won't be my last visit, and if there's one thing I've learned this year, it's that there's always another gorgeous sight around town, hoping for you to hear it calling."
