The Waters of Utopia - Romantic Wanderer Series #44

As in previous post: Inspired by German Romanticism. I have been working on this project for 2 years - it is a continuous body of work and I can easily see myself devoting the rest of my life to it.

There is so much to say, yet, about man's presence in nature and/or his disassociation with it. It is also a self-portrait, a study of my own romance with nature and the emotional impact and the devastation I have felt on my travels - the sadness and the disrespect for nature. Yet, there is still wonder and amazement for some.

Throughout this project, I have taken my figures and placed them in various ecosystems. This segment was shot in the swamp waters of Florida.

I am on a quest to hunt for beauty.

Thank you for allowing me to share my vision.

I think I'm getting your message now , to my eyes this is a far better shot than No. 45. When do you move into Casper David Friedrich territory?
 
I like what I have seen of this series, and I think it is an interesting project.

Thank you all so much for the wonderful comments and the inspiration I needed, to keep going with this project.

Tex - Green velvet frock coats are getting mighty hard to find these days!!!

Svend - that is precious and very much what I had in mind with this project!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Again, thank you all. Cheers.

That's really nice, Varya. I like your observer series already, and I hope to see a lot more of it.

Thank you so much, Thomas, and again to Jnanian, Svend, Uhner, Miles and Tex. I will definitely be posting more of them.

This is the first time I have ever shown my prints to anyone.

I come from a painting/design background and have only been photographing for about 5 years I have been a bit shy about showing - your comments mean a great deal to me. Cheers.
