We recently moved, which influenced my decision to produce this piece. It has been an overwhelming job to relocate! We have lived here a few weeks, yet still can't find some things, and have boxes to unpack and possessions to rearrange.
While a college student, I took a course: Human Geography. The theme of the class was that people move for two reasons: 1 To go to a better place, such as those who traveled west in search of gold in California. Or 2 To get away from a bad place, such as the immigrants who came from Ireland during the potato famine. Today, we see the horrible situation in Ukraine with citizens fleeing towns and homes they love because they are escaping death and destruction. My husband and I came to our new place because it provides greater security. He has severe disabilities, and our new environment makes life easier for both of us.
I no longer have as much housekeeping to do, and even though we willingly came, part of me is sad. This move has made a huge difference in our lives!
I think there are more photos being produced these days than at any prior time. I suspect many folks are recording important happenings--special occasions, a beautiful sunset, or gardens in bloom. Others may have a more artistic approach, such as those who are good at abstracts. Money can be made if the photographer is talented and good at marketing. How many folks go click, click, click simply because it is fun?
A person who does a lot of picture taking does so in order to make an impression on the viewer. I want the people who look at my photos to feel something, to be moved by my work, to think differently after looking at the photos than they may have, prior to viewing them. The simplest developments can have a big impact.
Did you know that movement is a primary ability of living things? We know animals and humans are able to move.
When we sit, do we sit still? We cross ankles and legs, tap our feet or fingers, fold arms, twist hair, scratch or rub hands. The furniture companies are well aware of this.
There are many things around us that move, but which we do not usually think of as doing so. For example: do plants move? They are rooted in place, no? In deed, they are not stationary! Anyone who has had to pay to replace sidewalk put askew by tree roots are aware of this.
Do you see how plants bend toward light?
Or unfurl leaves to absorb the sunshine?
Surely rocks don't move! Or do they? If you are familiar with the Myth of Sisyphus you know of his futile work, even when he COULD move a rock. That rock moved with assistance from a person, but there are rocks that are put in motion other ways. Have you heard of a landslide? How much destruction is caused by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
