Death’s artistic display
Where wild still livesand dies.
Where fires thrive
and beauty lives
on the inside.
On November 10th, I published a piece titled, “Gray is golden too” – where I wrote about pausing to appreciate and photograph death and decay along the trails. The first paragraph of that post is below, if you missed it the first time. After being a little disappointed with my (personal) photo options that would visually support my photographic interest, I found myself in a desert-graveyard-heaven the following weekend, during my hike through Safford Peak.
“Gray is golden too” intro: (click for full post)
My friend finds it odd that I pause to photograph lifeless things along the trail. “Where is the beauty in that?” she asks. I attempt to explain that dark decay in the foreground with a blue sky in the background makes an interesting black and white photo. The only thing my friend is convinced of, after my brief justification, is how odd I am. She may be right but there is so much more I don’t tell her after our pause in front of a shriveled shrub.
