Shattered


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, philosophical.

As long as we've embarked on a series of images w/ a figure in silhouette in surreal landscapes, here's another. Someone is standing on (perhaps) a log, in a dry lake (dry lakes in the desert are mostly dry, until it rains) reflecting some of the distance, but not all. The foreground surface is shattered by a rock. The lone figure contemplates the distance, an eroded desert landscape at right, a ghost town structure at left. The person has no way to go but forward, backward is shattered, time only flows one way. Guatama Buddha's last words were 'walk on'.
Good advice - take it.

Perilous Journey

This person may well have a death wish, he is headed into a vast surreal barely fathomable space. Sometimes this is what you have to do with your life, take a leap into the void, on a wing and a prayer. Take a deep breath, and do it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

How can one be below the rocks, and above the sky?


In this world, it is possible. Bon Voyage, explorer!
