Posting this a month-and-a-half after taking these pictures. Life had turned turbulent for me in July and through August. Made writing difficult; motivation was sparse.
On July 14th, 2010, I hauled a pile of my photo gear a mile up Mt. Si to a clearing beside the trail I noticed on my last hike up the mountain. I saw several themes of order and chaos in the forms defining the open space that revealed more of the juxtaposition between the artificial, or manmade, and natural that is ever-present on well maintained trails.
I won’t explain much about these photographs. Take them as they are: explorations of forest forms through the eyes of a human. I do regret not unifying their processing in terms of color versus monochromatic. In some cases, I really felt unable to cast away the beautiful colors adorning the beautiful life around me.
