Seeing 2011 (#129)

For your consideration: an image taken under brilliant afternoon daylight conditions, rendering accentuated planes and sharply defined crevasses and boundaries. Future versions will be offered illustrating the marked alterations arising from radical different illumination.

Taken as a desperate hedge against an agonizing anguish messily churning within the soul of late.

Susan Sontag posited that the camera often functions as a shield against reality for the photographer. In these times the inner weight seems too much to even lift the lens, yet the muse manages to seep through in brief instants, bringing microscopic relief. Thus posts will be considerably more sporadic until this scorched psychic terrain is navigated.
