Dark Forest.
Holga and HP5.
I strangely like this image - aside from it being very dark, it encapsulates the feeling of walking in the woods and coming upon a clearing.
Purposing a time to be purposeless, to wander, to seek out what you don’t know, yes, this is a valuable and necessary time. To eat the locusts and the wild honey, to be tested and to force yourself to become hungry, to admit to faults and imperfections covered over by the business of computers and money and speed - this is the desert, the wilderness. 40 days or 40 years, whatever it may be will be.
The Source of It All.
Holga. Hp5. Waterfall. Red filter. Lots of contrast.
Personally, life has taken a bit of a turn lately. I know I am in the midst of a change of path, as I have left a church I have been a part of for the last seven years. I know its a drop in the bucket versus someone who has been in a church for their lifetime, but their influence on me has left an indelible impression on my spiritual genes. My only regret is… well… I really don’t have any that I can think of at the moment. I will let you know if any come out.
However, I am looking forward to this time without bonds or responsibilities in that sense, and to really see what I am spiritually without all the swirling politics of a church. Back to basics. Please. Panera on Sunday mornings sounds great to me.
Jeremy and Emily the Creep.
Ah, yes…. the first post with an image from my Canon Mark II and 24-70mm lens. This was a digital tirade I went on one late night in January. I couldn’t feel my stiff frozen fingers when I finally made it back to the car.
Some daily affirmations: I am who you say I am, and I do whatever I see you doing. I follow you as you convict and lead me, and I speak with you in mind. I am and you are, and we walk together. I remember that you never left me before, and you will never leave me ahead, and I live in constant and confident love.
The Young Colt.
Ilford HP5 with the Ansco Speedex R - a great pair of horses across the street from my work. Somehow they figured out how to jump the electric fence and run around our property. I figured it was only fair that I get some frames of them. She only charged at me once.
I finally figured out how to scan in the edges of the frame. I usually do not crop my images, so I like to print all the way out to the border, showing the frame and make of the film. Mmmm….
