The initiation of this blog has inspired some reflection in me. I began to rummage through some old works- images, journals, essays, identities. I found these photos from a trip to Scotland in 2004; I wanted to share. Returning from this trip, I made some profound shifts in my life. It was kind of an interesting turning point for me, and I think going to this landscape where 'I'm from' and yet have never been, and returning to where I've been, but never know myself to belong, kind of revolved a bit around my time in scotland. Going back and looking at what I was looking at then and how I was looking at things has been cool to experience. It's interesting to see something again after some time. It actually feels like looking at something completely new; which I suppose it is.
that last image, especially- my heart feels like it hurts just to look at it.

Very nice. It seems you are experimenting with how you adjust the photo, they all have a different feel to them, some warm, some cool. I would also like to see some of them as they were in camera. Beautiful images. last two my favorite, there is something classic about them and evoke a strong emotion like b said.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the righteous feedback. Yeah, post-editing is weird. I actually de-saturated most of these to mellow them out- the colors their were vibrant and contrasty. Beautiful place...
