This would look nice really big. The file is plenty large enough.
I'm soon to lose the use of my Brownies to make images like this, due to the film no longer being made, but I've gained the use of my iPhone 4S to make them instead. That makes me happy.
Thanks to Terry Etherton's Gallery for having those wonderful, simple, profound Harry Callahan images of Eleanor. I saw them tonight. They inspired me to make this simple, black and white image, about life, death and rebirth.
And I read this image from right to left, (Life, the right tree, Death, the middle tree, Rebirth, the empty horizon on the left), but you can look it anyway you like.
To The Virgins, To Make Much Of Time by Robert Herrick: baptized 24 August 1591 – buried 15 October 1674: (the first and last stanzas/verses)

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying :
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying...
..Then be not coy, but use your time,
And while ye may go marry :
For having lost but once your prime
You may for ever tarry.

Again, going for a cross between the British Aesthetics and the Arts & Crafts Movement of the 19th Century and the American Contemporaries of the 21st.
And I love serendipity, that Dada moment where the meteorite crosses near The North Star during shooting. Blessed accidents.

I'm just going to put these images up on the StuBlog and say very little. Some are good, some not-so-good, some in-between. Some from last week, some from last year. Enjoy.
