Quoting Martin:
[When I saw the photographs by Adam Krawesky they immediately resonated with me. To me has has perfectly described the manicured, freshly painted pristine city environment I experienced when I lived in North America. The well dressed people with space all around them, no one selling roasted chicken feet on the side of the road, no piles of rotting vegetables, no hordes of people. Also no threatening environment, no danger but also no life, no fizz. A sense of alienation, a surreal disconnectedness. Cold and unwelcoming, lonely. The man stepping onto the road in a clearly demarcated crossing area even with no one around. Never see that where I live. Here people run across 5 lane freeways dodging cars doing 120KM/H, frequently resulting in spectacular accidents.
My point to all this is I got a lot from this article. It has made me look at where I live and how wild it can actually get.
Made me wonder how I could portray all that
. Most importantly Adam has pointed out to me what I felt living in North America. When I saw the images my reaction was, "Yes, like that".]
Out of chaos, Martin, you have discovered peace of awareness. The speed at which we travel today too easily masks the speed at which the curve of earth we all inhabit moves us in unison. From the flat earth under our personal feet a deeper vision from beyond the curve seems to open ever more rarely. Savour your ability and willingness to be open to that peace of chaos.
Lumine!
( It is all too easy to not even be aware that our driver, having deposited us within the gated , lushly planted, landscaped, and irrigated confines of our known place of habitation, has at the very same time stripped us of the ability to see the rusting, metal sheets of roofing just outside and below the walls of our view, disguising the true curve of place and life. )
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Martin~
