Ages

PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

Ages is an unlikely scenario. It’s unusual for my work to include the ubiquitous wood nymph with the head full of flowers; can you imagine the bugs? Ew. But seriously, those images are everywhere. It’s been done to death, but I wondered, if there was such a thing as a wood nymph (other than butterflies and hummingbirds), would they be attracted to empty spaces, places abandoned by humans? Would they resent these places because they are not natural? Would they even understand what they are looking at? I don’t know, it just seemed like a grungy problem looking for a collage.

Ages appeared in the January 2025 issue of Living the Photo Artistic Life.
