Inside and Out

Posted on October 5, 2012 by Mike

Two distinct views, similar but very different…Deep woods create a vertical wonderland of clean air and abundant wildlife.

The inside of a barn made of wood, teases with air and light filtering through gaps.

Similar yet contrasting. Similar vertical thin structures with dappled light filtering through yet contrasting man-made versus natural, flat planks versus round trees, 2-d versus 3-d, one keeping things out while the other inviting you in. A wonderful pairing of images; I really like it.

THe characteristics of trees lives on in the wood. Fantastic.
They should be framed together one image in two distinct parts.

These photographs would make a very interesting diptych. What a great photo essay! I like the barn one very much … first time I’ve seen light captured in such an effective full-frame display. Your perception, sensitivity, photography skills and articulate voice produce some startling statements rather often! 🙂

  Gosh George, thanks. I like that they married well. When I woke up and looked to create a post, this just kind of fell together. The barn is my best friend’s barn in Michigan. He has a summer cottage on the beach and a nice home with some acreage and woods. Me, I got your lovely comment to keep me warm as the winter descends. Thank you.

I do like the parallelism of this and the thought that the once living trees give us shelter. Happy Friday to everyone!

Much prefer the second shot only because I doubt, if I had seen it, I would have thought to take a photo of the play of dark against light.
