We photographers can get a little out-there when we talk about where in the mental cosmos our pictures come from...and, looking at the images I'm posting today, can you really blame us?
I mean, I was on two different hikes this week in visually dissimilar parts of the state -- one hike was up at an elevation of over seven thousand feet in the Cascades, while the other was at absolute sea level on Dungeness Spit -- but these two VERY similar photographs presented themselves. Mind you, I did not intend to make "Figures in a Landscape" images…they just happened.
This Coincidence of Content is not only puzzling to me, but also very cool.
I kind of revel in the mystery of why and how some of my pictures get made.
Sometimes, I make an exposure, knowing exactly what I'm doing.
Other times, the image-making process is serendipity, hocus-pocus, or just plan, gut-level, push-the-button when the-spirit says NOW!
