With mission one aborted I turned back to a nameless wildlife sanctuary I'd spied on the way in, nameless not because it had no name but because I've already forgotten it. It was last month after all. I hopped the locked gate, always a plus, and walked a rutted path to a discarded homestead with two buildings and a concrete foundation with a rusted water tank. Set in a grassy valley running west toward Laguna Larga the ruins whispered intimate histories into my ears.
As an ardent student of photography and devotee of the classic black and white photographs by the mid-century masters I practice the medium with an eye toward graceful design. I view each frame as a discreet design project with the objectives of elegance, balance and precision. More images may be seen at www.steveimmelphotography.com.

Intimate Histories
With mission one aborted I turned back to a nameless wildlife sanctuary I'd spied on the way in, nameless not because it had no name but because I've already forgotten it. It was last month after all. I hopped the locked gate, always a plus, and walked a rutted path to a discarded homestead with two buildings and a concrete foundation with a rusted water tank. Set in a grassy valley running west toward Laguna Larga the ruins whispered intimate histories into my ears.
"The ruins whispered intimate histories in my ears" indeed! What a wonderful piece of writing. The last two photographs definitely enchant. The composition of the high foreground water tank and the lower building in the background is magnificent. Despite the fact that you missed Cuba for the season, you certainly returned home with some high, wide, and evocative shots.
ReplyDeleteMuchas gracias como siempre, chica.
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed Cuba, but you did make some pretty fine lemonade, amigo!
ReplyDeleteThere's always next year. Or is there?
