At this location and time, it was a quiet stream on a beautiful fall day.” |

However these were predominately orange-red. I liked how the individual leaves make the photograph resemble a pointillist painting.” |

Although this looks like a black and white copy, it is really coloured – but you have to look closely.” |

With so little water and nutrients, they must be many years old.” |
![](https://dam.athabascau.ca/GF7L4P38/as/r6v5bwrrv7bm5mgvwjnvk6fz/archives-robert-holmberg-bench-and-maple-leaves) | Wooden Bench and Yellow Maple Leaves Location: Naheeno Park, Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, British Columbia (1973) “This photograph took three years to make. I was using 35 mm slide film and even though I bracketed the exposure, the bright background was either to light or the dark foreground was too dark. By the time I got the film developed, the leaves were gone. On the third year, I finally got it right. With a digital camera, it would have been far easier.” |
