A Time Event
Singular moments of time, life experiences, and events are usually the most cherished. Singular events like births, wedding days, and deaths are usually the most rewarding or permanent.
Singular and impactful photos usually include an element of time. This photo cannot be rephotographed or duplicated. It contains many singular elements of time.
On a day that heavy wet snow is clinging to the trees and underbrush, I spend most of the day photographing in sunlight and had decided to head home. I proceeded down a shaded, winding valley road.
The sun was setting off on the other side of the Hill. It was a “Surprise” contrasting and colorful silhouettes of yellow sun and blue shade.
To obtain impactful results, the investment of time is imperative to achieve the impact of a moment in time.
Car World
This salvage yard photo symbolizes the density of our motorized addictions.
The earth is covered with 1.475 billion cars, SUV’s, trucks, and motorcycles, with 40 million miles of roads to explore.
The population has an incurable addiction and the need for motorized transportation. Yet, these
vehicles supply the energy and means to expedite our cultural and commercial interactions, our personal desires, and propel us through our lives.
Auto salvage yards are sometimes scorned for their vast and unsightly exposure. In reality, salvage yards were some of the first entities committed to recycling materials.
It would be impossible to imagine or expect motorized vehicles to vanish.
Best practice will be to initiate responsible recycling, rather than expecting nature and
time to perform the eventual reclamation.
Thoughts and Reclamation of Time
The strong survive! The strong must remain strong to survive. True in nature, and true within our human culture.
One example is this Packard auto, it was as symbol of style, strength, and prestige that lost its way. “Humans did this” Probably The passion, design, pride, and artistic fortitude of the originalists was deluded, and lost by the next generation!
Elements of the passage of time can leave us with historic symbols of the passion of the originalists. These artful relics may combine with the “ART OF DECAY” to compound the impact and provide for a more insightful viewpoint.
