The New 100 Prints Project
A new photograph every third day, for a year.
This project has 100 images so far. This image added 15 Nov 2008.
Pine in the Lava, Mt. Jefferson, Oregon, 2006
I like the way this image inverts scale — the tree larger and taller than the mountain. Although I didn't consciously see it while photographing, I now also notice that the tree, the mountain, and the lava pile are all the same pyramidal shape.
What motivated me to photograph all this, however, was the gesture the tree seems to make — a tip of the hat, or a slight bow. It's almost bonsai-like.
