Frozen in Time

Years ago I created a set of images in upstate New York. This set of work proved to be very important in my development as a photographer. After completing a 15 print portfolio, I laid all of the photographs out and viewed them at the same time. That was the first time I realized that I really was putting myself in my work. It was exciting and almost scary at the same time. I could see my life, my emotions in the images. I could see where my vision was coming from. My photography was becoming very personal to me. Whether others could see it or not did not matter, To me there was meaning. To be able to express ones feelings in their work, that is art!

Today’s image, Frozen in Time, is one piece from that series of photographs. The deep meaning this image has for me, I am not going to say, however, as you look into the image, what does it say to you? Notice the interesting physical phenomenon going in within its frame. The plates of ice hanging on the tree trunks, the way the light gets brighter as you look deeper into the woods, the strength of the vertical trees within a strong horizontal composition. To me the image speaks. What is it saying to you?
