And so there was this thing. And it called to me. And I had to pick it up, because not to do so would have been rude. And I didn’t want to be rude.

Another in my Portraits of a Forest Series.

It’s interesting how I see this shot. Normally an off-kilter horizon drives me nutz. But in this shot I find the contrast of the left side of the frame, where everything is “proper,” and the right, where everything is all running off into the ditch, to be really compelling, somehow. As if there’s some dynamic conflict attempting resolution or something like that. At any rate, it draws my eyes around in the image, and that is good. The world needs more stress, right?
