I am in the midst of getting everything ready for my solo exhibition opening this afternoon of my Memory Pods series at The Photographer’s Eye gallery, which I will be leaving for Escondido within the hour. Nevertheless, I have this image on my desk that seems to haunt me. Yes, the song Strange Brew by Cream keeps echoing as well.
This is another image from the Appalachian trail that I discussed earlier. Except in this case, I pushed the creative boundaries a bit further with my Experiment/Play process. The slightly ‘straight’ version of his image is nice, but this version of an imaginary landscape is the one that I find myself coming back to. It seems to have a lot more emotional impact for me.
I am not sure what could be coming around the bend on this narrow mountain trail, with the trees shrouded in this eerie light.
Cheers,
Doug
