I have a suspicion that my photo will only make sense to me.  Especially in black & white.  But currently, I feel as though this tree is akin to myself and that we are more alike and different at the present moment.
Heat.

I often think to myself, “I am so, so lucky to work with the nicest people!”  It’s almost like a pinch-me sort of revelation over and over again and the gratefulness I have because of it overflows.  I remember when Emily reached out to me, I liked her immediately and when we had our Skype […]

When a photographer is asked to photograph another photographers anything really, it comes with a bit of nerves and a whole lot of gratitude.  When another photographer asks you to photograph their wedding, it comes with another dimension of nerves and even more gratitude.  Kara, the bride, was wonderful to work with!  She was organized, knew […]

I’ve been wanting to post this beautiful Mt. View Orchards wedding for a long time now and since it happened at the end of the 2015 season, let’s just say I’m a smidge behind.  This event was truly life-giving to me and I loved everything about it, it helped incredibly that I photographed it entirely […]

As a wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon, it’s somewhat rare to be asked to photograph a wedding in Southern California, but earlier this year I did and I was so very thrilled.  Not just because of the opportunity I was being given to work as a destination wedding photographer, but because the bride is someone I […]

I think the haze of the tilted lens definitely speaks to the Heat theme this week… I’d love to hear how you feel a closeness with this particular tree!
what a beautiful surreal sort of dreamscape of a moment that does in fact feel heated – the high sun casting a long shadow on a tree that’s undoubtedly weathered many heat filled summers cooled by its leaves. and the soft focus you selected just enhances your expression.
i cannot say that i understand exactly what makes you connect with this image, but i can imagine, and i feel something strong too, looking at it. sharing an image of meaning to you, makes us all look harder, with more attention, inside and out. i feel the wave of heat, the layers, the strength, the mystery…and a lot more. i love that you made this your own, and it is so beautiful in itself.
Thats the fun of artistry! We don’t have to know what you are thinking. We get to ponder it, examine it, and come to our own conclusions. Sort of like cryptic lyrics in a song. We get to make it personal.
For me, your tilt-shift focus on the tree makes it pop so much. It’s an enemy, it’s a friend. It might depend on the season or mood. here it’s a more enemy than friend.
Just beautiful Marla! Love how it stands stall and proud despite the heat beating on it.
I definitely see the heat Marla! Beautiful image and I love the haze and background. It would be a great fine art piece for your home. 🙂
Beautiful post Marla, makes me really look deeply into the image and imagine.
