Confusion (Waterloo, Ontario)
“This then: to photograph a rock, have it look like a rock, but be more than a rock.”
- Edward Weston
What about a forest?
Near where I live is a large tract of undulating, forested land. The hills are numerous. Some are quite high. When walking among them, the external boundaries of the forest cannot be seen.
The area is criss-crossed with many foot paths, some very distinct, others not so much. None have markers to aid in direction finding. Even when paying attention to the surroundings and the path you are on, orienting yourself can be problematic. Much more so when diverting your attention to something other than navigation.
Working with a camera is one such diversion. Often times I become so engrossed in what I am photographing that I lose sense of time and where I have wandered. I can suddenly look up and have no idea where I am. Thus, Confusion.
