Near Lumberville, Pennsylvania, 2006

Richard,
I've managed to miss several of your recent posts, including this one which is one of my favorites. I like the way you've got some loose layers of tone behind a bustle of foreground activity. I'm struck by the by the sideways v shape that is created by a conspicuous curved branch near the top and continued by another, more suble branch below. This same shape seems to be mimicked several time in the right side of the print. I don't feel this exactly expresses what I mean now that I've reread it... I guess that's why I'm a photographer not a writer. Nice work. doc

Thanks Doc. Last December I started doing a lot with my wide angle lens-- something that until then I really shied away from. Then everything got exciting when I took in all this extra space, and I was like, "crap, what am I going to do with all this extra stuff?" This picture came out of that. I have a little series of about ten pictures that I made in this gereral area, and I hope to get them printed soon-- maybe next month. This is maybe the best of the series, but the others deal with similar spacial things.
