Photo by @Franslanting Not much is known about the ancient people who lived around 5,000 years ago in the American Southwest, but they left haunting expressions of their world as rock paintings scattered throughout the Colorado Plateau. I made a pilgrimage to a site deep inside Canyonlands National Park that features stylized, anthropomorphic forms, which are among the Southwest’s earliest known rock art.
For this image I incorporated the figure of my wife as a silent observer whose shape echoed those in the rock paintings, but she anchored the scene in the present. I also included a cottonwood tree in my composition, with its foliage rippling in the breeze. A neutral density filter made it possible to extend my exposure in broad daylight to several seconds. The final image brings together several dimensions of time--geologic, prehistoric, and present-day--and as a wind gust tossed the cottonwood leaves, the movement added a notion of ephemeral time.
