In last week’s post titled ‘Monday’s Portfolio Musings – v. .2.11’, I mentioned that categories and themes are emerging in looking through the volume of images from the last 20 or so years of my photography. At this time, I may not have descriptors for each of the categories yet, as they have me thinking that images are crossing boundaries between the categories.
One of these boundary crossings is between abstract and landscape, as might be the case for this particular image…
This capture from 2012 still intrigues me, as it has a combination of reflection, variation in light and dark, and unusual shapes that crop up in the pond. This gives a bit of an otherworldly sense, as one could imagine that alien creatures are arising from the pond, on a mission of exploration to find out what this Earth is all about. I can only think that humanity might confuse these aliens into either leaving in despair or taking pity…
As long as we’re not ending up the subject a Twilight Zone episode, we’ll be alright.
I’m curious how you would categorize this image.
