Email from Steve, Whoa, just checked your new image. Getting kinda hinky. Really goes spinning off in another direction when you throw a word in there doesn't it? Moves things away from the metaphorical and takes on a narrative quality. "Listen" and then that rope bound tight around the trunk of the tree. At first it seems gentle, a whisper, but then quite forceful when I notice the rope. I thought of a lynching in the woods. "Listen" becomes "Pay Attention!" or even something like "Did you here that?" like in a scary movie when a character hears a creaking sound in the woods. The Boogey Man photo. What's that blurry thing? A whip?
Back to the lobster photo: Such a interesting view of something so ordinary. The flowing water gives it life -- almost as if occurring in nature. Then the yellow tag grounds it to reality - captivity and ending up on someone's dinner plate.
From Stephanie, Thankfully the tree is tougher than the rope that binds it.
ReplyDeleteI think the rustling leaves you are hearing, are chuckling at the attempt.
Please Note: I did not say the semi-obvious "if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it,
does it make any sound?" I would NOT go there.
