another round.  lots of things happening around me and with me and to me, and processing them into words is difficult.  I still haven't done it even for myself yet, so maybe photographs can share some of the feelings associated with them. “a trip into the backcountry; back East; and more travel for work.”

last time we spoke in this way, I said:

“…the feeling of a deep, visceral, gritty reality…”

different, this time.  less reality, more of a surreal sensation.  some of these images feel “inauthentic” of the experience that I took part in at the time, like they capture some idealization of what the experience is “supposed” to be, rather than how it really felt for me.

for at least one of these, paradoxically, the “inauthenticity” is part of what makes the image and the feeling even more authentically real for what it was.

then, presented below, images for your viewing: largely unedited, and largely without additional comment, the world that was briefly mine.

I hope you again enjoy.
