As I've come to expect from you, John, a well thought out composition and presentation creating a sense of place and context that tells a story. Bravo!
Great shot with the tree framing the old stone house. That rake is pretty weird in the corner. I really like it. The sepia tone goes well with the mood and subject matter.
That rake is so modern, I'm assuming your photograph was taken after 1971? I wonder about the tattered rope on the moss covered tree. Did kids once play here on a homemade swing? This leads to more questions. I love when photographs do this.
And this is your line of work? Not quite the boundless landscape of cubicles, hunched figures scribbling in yellowed ledgers, an overseer in a tall chair peering out over it all, relishing who to fire next and cast their family into ruin that I had imagined. I'm abundantly happy for you and your marvelous days. I hope. And thus a beautiful scene that hearkens back to simple times, though here it is now. Well-constructed and balanced depth, an adroit procession from rake and tree and past the house into the woods. The sepia tone is lovely. So much to cherish.
