I started with the broken ladder (obtained from IA tool) and then without any "premeditation" I chose the other three. These three works was conceived and created separately (a polaroid dating back to the early 80s, obviously in color; and two shots taken with the Nokia N70 (forerunner of smartphones but not touch) AND "processed" with Photoshop and relative filters .
After uploading all the four images I "understood" that I had created a metaphorical descent into hell: the entrance, with the fall from the ladder and the stations of the terrifying experience that followed...
I watched this woodpecker as hit pecked and hunted on the branch of a mesquite tree in my yard. If found something to eat in there. This one is a male, with a red crown.

I think of the Zen concept of 無心 (mu shin) when photographs such as these present themselves, I'm sure every artists has come up against times when overthinking gets in the way of creativity. Translated as "no mindedness" 無心 is the state of clearing one's mind from any analytical thought, allowing yourself to react with no pre-judgment in a natural, immediate way.
My favourite definition comes from Alan Watts, who pointed out that Western slang provides some great possibilities for the translation of these Zen terms saying in essence mu shin is to "get with it" or "flow with it".

I would have liked to have waited for Window Wednesday to post this, but The Photo Forum b/w theme for which this was shot ends Saturday. The theme is 'centered.'
Meanwhile, Happy Donnerstagsmonochrom!
My boyfriend and I spent a few days traveling through villages in the Troodos Mountains and Paphos region. I love the windows and doors in the villages, so I took a lot of these shots. . . . Apologies to my contacts if it takes me a while to catch up on things. . . .
I saw this on the main Explore page! Thanks a lot to everyone for all the great comments and faves. . . . Highest position Explore #4. . .
