Balance

What is this blog about? In a nutshell, it's about black and white darkroom photomontage. Every few weeks, a new image with a few words about it, kinda poetic, philsophical.
For more details - check out the archive, the first post, April 26, 2015.

Balance is an interesting word - it describes something physical. And also many things metaphysical.
Someone wanders out along a huge driftwood log, definitely needing a good sense of balance - or else!
A weight scale looms in the distance, measuring... some sort of balance - the scale itself is a physical balance - put things in the tray, and add weights to the opposing tray to ascertain 'equality' of some sort.
Your whole life is a balancing act of sorts, you will always be making choices, decisions. And it's all a one way street. Yesterday will always be history, today a prelude to tomorrow.
Perhaps it's like the lyrics in a John Hiatt song - "walk on, don't ask questions, don't you try to understand...".


Here's another commenmt on that:
