The Dark Forest

“We penetrated deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness”
― Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness

Looking at this image, I imagine an intrepid explorer journeying deep into the dark, foreboding, and totally unexplored jungle. Danger lurks behind every tree.  Will he find the lost civilization?

Probably not, since this is a macro shot of a the base of a small fake plant we have in our house. The adventurer may find some lost dust bunnies or perhaps a marble or two hidden there by my son.

Day 109 of my 365 photo a day project.

Emotion. Mood. Feelings. This is what I capture through my photographs. Whether it is landscapes, architectural elements, still life, or macros - it is a very personal journey as my own fears, triumphs, beliefs, and shortcomings are exposed with each photo. In the end, it is all about telling compelling stories.
