Last week, I finished a book of poetry from Clint Smith called Above Ground. It was an absolutely beautiful and powerful collection with poems about parenting in general and parenting as an African American in this world.
OOOoooooooo. These photos show a side of your photography that I don't think I've seen before...clockwise: The heron in the tree is weak but it honors your amazement...sunrise over the lake is your most familiar pic here but it has a deeper story...the 3 white herons are gorgeous, almost iridescent white...road toward the sunrise is a symbol for your journey, which you seem acutely aware of...the purple blue clematis is full of varying degrees of bloom - there's always one out ahead of the rest...the atmospheric shot of the street intersection is marvelous - its both dark and light and each informs the bright sunlight. That is a very mature piece. And, then there is the Star Wars evil guy is very playful. All of these pics together have more playfulness in them than I'm used to seeing from you and I really like it. Bravo, Captain Ed!!
Thank you for your photos and this shimmering poem.
You are most welcome. Also I love the word shimmering for referring to the poem. Lovely.
