Here and Present

It’s ironic that we use light in photography but rarely do we include the actual Sun in a shot, let alone look at it directly.  I was attracted to this scene because the sun beam, that had traveled 186,000 miles/second for about 8 minutes, was hitting the wall and not the floor.  As I got closer I realize another light source was on, even though it was still daylight.   This image or self portrait is about what I saw/experienced at a specific hour in the day, for a short period of time, current and cosmically speaking. In the diptych’s upper geometric plane, or wall, I noticed it was even less symmetrical than the bottom portion, or floor.  Both were beautifully flawed with imperfections in construction and erosion, including my legs. The Keens were however new… I have to think about the meaning of that for a moment…  I suppose that is a clue to hashtag the product, Keen.  And there it is folks,  a full circle of admiring what is before me and contemplating on our short microscopic place in life, then violently returning to reality with the thought of #Hashtag.
