About the Image(s)

In the parking lot of a health care center is a row of high and long concrete barriers that direct cars where to and where not to park. The paint applied to these barriers long ago is speckled with mud and pealing. The result is, if one but looks closely, a series of panoramas painted by nature’s forces and human’s carelessness. Each visit presents new twists on the stories these barriers tell. On this particular day I saw a creature wearing sunglasses walking a log in mountainous terrain. I captured the scene with the camera I had - an iPhone 16 pro max. I imported the image into LightRoom Classic, and cropped. In Topaz AI I upsized. Back in LRC I make basic adjustments to emphasize the black lines that revealed the story.
