Production Diary — “The Tangle of…”

I went to Japan expecting to take lots of street shots, so I packed light — mostly relying on my iPhone and even bringing along my long-abandoned PowerShot S100. Surprisingly, after more than ten years, the old battery still held a charge.

While nothing particularly remarkable caught my eye most of the time, this moment stood out: two girls in kimono walking beneath the maze of wires near Yasaka Pagoda. There were others on the street, but I removed them in post — leaving just these two figures alongside the centuries-old pagoda, tangled in a web of cables that feel anything but historical.

It became a strange, poetic scene — past and present layered in an impossible composition. I still can’t decide on the right title, so I’ve left it open-ended: “The Tangle of…”

It's easy for me to get wound up with fear, frustration and feelings of powerlessness in these tangled times. I find looking through the lens of my camera and the subsequent processing of images helps me find hidden delights and unique perspectives. I tend toward the saturnine so I have to make a conscious effort to create my day and the attitudes that keep my mind free and flowing.

Found in the woods, it's from a pretty small bird... these robin's eggs are much too large.

Along the Icefields Parkway in the Canadian Rockies

Boring sky so I added a texture to give it some drama.

This beautiful waterfall is along the Icefields Parkway in Alberta. The b&w conversion emphasizes the mist at the top of the falls. In 1907 Mary Schaffer gave the creek and falls its name after her party had difficulty descending the valley through a tangle of fallen trees.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

Don't let people say how to live your life ... break free out of your little prison and enjoy your life!

The rising moon got all tangled up in the telephone wires. I had to climb up, cut the wires, give the moon a big push up and away, and reconnect the telephone connections. But first I took this picture to prove it really happened.

I liked the tangled nature of this vine... nothing deep and meaningful, just pretty :)
