Photography Without Rules
It’s ironic
The nearest nature refuge
Has a freeway running through it
Humans in a hurry
Making background audio
For the freeway on the lake
Yes, I am obsessed with this project….fourteen years and running at this location. At some point, I might make all the work I can discover and will shift my focus.
Walking near dead grass, dust from the trail speaks a language of ages.
Sage and buckwheat shout the joy of summer’s calling.
This year, it will be short, but splendor will splash the air.
Bees frantically work, supporting the hive.
Descending into enchanted realms. Local universes.
Do they worry or fret? Counting flowers and days without rain.
Those things, considered “dead.”
Speak loudest of all.
About days gone by. Three weeks of glory for some.
Others, like the oak, masters of maternal care.
Spent years of reliable service. Never wavering. Strong, sure and fast.
Shading rabbit and coyote alike.
Their roots, were once alive with the harmonics of the beating heart called earth.
Now waiting patiently.
For rebirth.
Had to do a little impression work yesterday. Photos are edited for contrast. Russian 44-2 Modified Lens.
Shadows reveal
A certain energy
Hurried
In random directions
How many times
Has this happened
How long
Has this gone on?
What else have I missed
In this world
Of fairies,
Sprites and pixies?
(2) photo manipulation – in the garden –
To plant a garden is the beginning of hope and the discipline of care.
Its creation, begets creation.
Make no excuses for yourself
And never apologize
To those who hate themselves.
A bitter outcome
Dragging us
Into their drowning pool
Is inevitable.
But know this;
We have the power
To transform hate
If it has not fully consumed
Its host,
With love.
A strength that will try us
And kill us
Many times over.
Love
Is not easy.
In-camera multiple exposure photograph.
Everyone loves us
Look at what we like
Measured importance
We’re so famous
But no one tells us
Just look at what we like!
Our taste is impeccable
It make us famous
But no one tells us
Come to my house
Electronically
We’ll collaborate
Our fame is evidenced
A few clicks
In the search engine
Mind your SEO
Like mowing the lawn
Weed and feed
About living the binary life online….a bit of silliness I guess. Have we become television?
