In somewhat the same vein as the singular tree growing out of the canyon floor, this photograph shows a tree growing out of the canyon wall. Again, the leafless tree branches are white against the texture of the rocky canyon wall. The top edge of the canyon wall is shown to give a little scale and dimension.Trees, rocks and creeks are extremely overused subjects in art, especially in Indiana. Trying to get any combination of those elements to express anything poetic, to get past the scenic, is a huge challenge. These photographs approach that threshold, but I don't feel that they fully get past it. What do you think? Any comments would be appreciated.
