| Welcome to the swamp London, ON November 2020 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
Back then, #Chomedey, just north of #Montreal, was a newly developed area of tract housing surrounded by forests, fields, and swamp areas. Over time, developers beat the land into submission and paved over the lovely spots. But when I was a kid, we had limitless places to explore.
Swamps being swamps, bulrushes like these were everywhere, and they made a delightful mess when we used them as makeshift swords. Yes, it was a very different era.
Fast forward to adulthood and we live in a city surrounded by wetlands and woodlots. Which means lots of bulrushes to shoot, and countless foggy memories to ponder as I compose the shot.
I guess that makes this somewhat more significant than a mere photo of a wildly growing plant. I guess photography is less about taking photos than it is a way to connect with yourself. I like how that works.
More to come...
