Symbolon
Helios 44M-7 at F2 plus a 2x teleconverter. I have photographed this wooden figurine before. As an object, its nature is trivial and some might call it kitsch. To me, it has its enigmatic fascination. It popped up right at the beginning, when I met the woman who would become my wife. Difficult to put into words what goes on inside. Associations like 'home', 'protection' and 'intimacy' well up. The totally unsubstantiated feeling, you know, that, 'in the end, everything will be alright'. Symbols work this way, signposts to a world that is (eventually) in order.
