Peering into the woods

Soon they'll all be empty

Photography is essentially a two-dimensional medium that struggles to tell the story of a three-dimensional world.

This photo drives that home for me. On one plane, the craggy, grey textures of trees and branches that have already lost their leaves. On another plane, seemingly just behind, the few colorful remnants cling to life before their inevitable fall. I'm reasonably certain most of them were gone by the time I got back home.

There are countless layers in this rich valley, yet all I can do is capture them on a flat sensor, then display them on an equally flat screen.

It's all woefully inadequate to explain, with anything approaching proper fidelity, what it feels like to be in this place. But given the limitations of technology, it'll have to do for now.

I guess I'll just have to keep coming back here. Some stories, after all, never really have an ending.
