I stopped for this photo because of how ordinary it seemed.
A duck resting in the grass, completely unaware of me, carrying on with its day.
As photographers, it’s easy to chase the perfect image, but I’ve been thinking more about the responsibility that comes with photographing wildlife. Not every animal needs to be approached. Not every moment needs to be interrupted.
Sometimes the most rewarding images come from respecting the distance and documenting what was already happening.
