I discovered this image of my husband Jeff’s legs this morning. The photo had cool shadows and movement to work with. After a bit of goofing off and layering—this series is what emerged.
Jeff is off exploring his world right now in a very BIG way. The first image on the road reminds me of the South Dakota Monster stories my Dad told all seven of his grandchildren. I don’t see my husband as a monster though—much more like a gentle giant.
We’ve always told our children that they are part prairie & part sea. When I started choosing photos to layer with Jeff’s legs I was naturally drawn to images of the prairie and the sea.
Here’s to your big adventures this weekend, wherever your feet take you.
- South Dakota two-lane road near Burke
- Abandoned farmhouse south of Burke, South Dakota
- Town Neck Beach approach,—Sandwich, Massachusetts
- Everglade National Park in Florida
- Town Neck Beach, Sandwich, Massachusetts
- Florence, Italy
Great work Lisa. The farmhouse picture is evocative in the sense it could depict the memories of early life slowly fading and shrinking away.
Layering is not easy. Mostly it can look clumsy and predictable. I think the light touch of flatness in colour, really brings home the story.
