This week’s Thematic Photographic is “new.” I haven’t been behind the lens in quite some time. There’s a lot going on in my life at the moment, and my camera is often an afterthought. As in, “Damn, I wish I had my camera with me right now.” But participating in this little project of Carmi’s [...]
Anciency. Now there’s a word. I’ve just made it up. Like “ancient,” but a noun. And apt here, I think. There is a great deal of anciency to this image. In the arthritic juniper, in the surrounding sage, in the long, deep, winding canyon. In the Henry Mountains beyond, in the clouds above. Anciency.
