Don't fail to see the unknown!!

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.

What a command, if that's what it is.

Perhaps it's a suggestion? Or would you call it a warning?

Who can see what is unknown ..and therefore probably unseeable?!

Well, you better try, 'cause it's comin' yer way, fer sure.

Ready or not - "Batter up!" (think baseball)

(Watch out for that curve ball!)

The lower half is a photo made at the Salton Sea, a man-made (by mistake) salt water lake in So. California. People made homes when the lake's shore was at a certain level, then the lake rose, and flooded them. It has now receded, and left a salt encrusted enviroment. 

You could say they... failed to see the unknown?

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.
