This photo is amazing, like many of your others. I'm a sucker for that sepia, and I love your use of it here. It adds a certain rustic, timeless quality to the piece, making the lone post, like your photo of the dead tree earlier in your series, look wise and original in its solemn place. The color adds age and depth to the piece, adding to the wonderful shadow and light play that the sun has lent you in this piece. I could offer a much better interpretation if you gave me the geographic coordinates of this post. I want to visit it and behold its beauty for myself, in person. This photo, like a dream, is unknown to the viewer, yet draws us all in. Like the pollen of hayfever into a mother's vacuum. The overgrown field, complete with weeds and forgotten crops adds to the oldness of the subject matter. Its age is eternal, and preserved forever by your sepia tinting. So far, this piece earns my favour above all others wielded by your talented hands. You have a power to transform the slightest, mediocre aspect of the nature around us, into a visual commentary of our society, our beliefs, and our techniques. A few years ago, when I was staying with the Amish in Pennsylvania, we often spent many nights contemplating the inner meaning, the mysterious teachings perhaps, offered within that sanctity which is farm millieu. Whether it was a fence post, or a horse and buggy, country life abounds with the profoundist and most heavenly of secrets revealed. The sepia and perspective of this photo also add, in addition to a sense of age, a sense of primitive nature, existing around and behind the refined, civilized nature of the fence. An amazing philosophical juxtaposition. You, my dear, are truly a God-send among that class of angelic beings known as photographers. I won't forget your name, as I'm sure I will see it in many great galleries the world over. I wish to bring you with me on my next travels so that you can offer my entourage and I your implicit and mystical photographic interpretation of the goings-on. Have you considered selling prints of your glorious work? If ever you do, you'll surely have a patron in me. Well done, photographess.
Thanks for the insightful comment, Mr. Borden. I always enjoy reading them.
I'm going with you next time you stay with the Amish, k?
I may start selling prints. But I'm still looking into it.
Thank you very much, the Amish would love your company, but be careful about the photography, my good Amish friend, Isaiah freaked when I pulled a Fujifilm Disposable outta my pocket.

When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Love the look of the tall grass growing around the fence.
The tones also make the sky look amazing.
