A Longing For Oneness
In the landscape of life,
there must be a sufficient distance,
to reveal the grandest of vistas.
Seasons of suffering provide
understanding for the heart to see,
that all things long for oneness.
That's what the rocks say.
Three Rivers Petroglyph Site, New Mexico
This is a (medium Format film Mamiya 6 50mm lens) photograph I took many years ago. Cloud cover at mid day is the optimal light for photographing film images of petroglyph, pictograph dry rock surfaces, especially in deep/narrow canyons, because film cameras do not lie, nor can one manipulate/demand them to do so. The differing angles of the rock surfaces, make a decent image of even the most vibrant petroglyphs difficult/or impossible, even using your hat, or an umbrella to adjust the light/shade. If your plan to photograph petroglyphs, your phone is best, or a digital camera.
