New Series: “The Ground”
4 Comments
In the post Year 2013 in Review and Parks Nights Favorites, I mentioned that although I release images in large blocks based on geography, I’ve been working on a number of photographic series. That post introduced the series “The Night”, where recent advances in digital photography help to capture the stars in the prominent sky.
In this post, I am presenting some images of the series “The Ground”, where we look under our feet for an often overlooked view. To make the perspective look even less familiar, I have actually removed all perspective by pointing the camera straight down.
Eliot Porter wrote “Sometimes you can tell a large story with a tiny subject”. Those images, covering just a few square feet, have been framed to be representative of entire ecosystems. They often include features unique to each place. In my National Parks project, I am interested in the individual character of each place; how each one represents a set of unique ecosystems, yet collectively, all are interrelated and interconnected like a giant jigsaw puzzle.

Tuan,
This is lovely. Sometimes it’s good to simply look down at the microcosm beneath our own feet. Thank you!
All the best,
Edie
Thanks. Glad you liked the idea.
Hello Tuan,
Very nice! Love this set of images, really fun looking at them and wondering what Park you were in. Compositions are all great!
Thanks. Most of them could have been made in a few parks, but a few point to unique locations.
