Ushi Hadere

The Magical Subject of Trees

Look - Listen - Learn!

Ushi Hadere's hobby is photography and her subjects are trees. And, one day, she showed us her photos. And, it was the magical strength of the trees that clearly showed in her pictures. But, trees, I believe, are not easy to shoot!

They never say cheese and a smile is out of the question, and, nor do they look left or right. Trees are as they are. They are static. It is you who has to do all the work. And, it is you who has to walk round and round until the perfect angle appears. But, not so for Ushi Hadere!

Trees, she says, are intelligent. It is they who not only decide where the best shot should come from, but also the best time of day and the right light as well. All we have to do is listen and follow! And, for Ushi it works every time!

And, there is something else, too. Trees not only change with the seasons, they become good friends as well! And, Ushi Hadere believes it is they who dress up for us. Trees always look nice. And that is the beauty of Ushi Hadere's work. Her pictures are photos of life and they speak to us all! And, this is hardly surprising. There is a small part of tree in us all. We can't live without them. And, taking photos of them could possibly be the best tribute of all!

So, why don't you try it as well?
