a small study

A small  study of a melaleuca in the Bluff Reserve using the Super Cambo 8x10. It is from the archives and it has been  forgotten and overlooked.    

Ignored really, because I was embarrassed by it.  It wasn't a hero image. It was   plain and ordinary. I recoiled from its implicit dissonance,  its lack of meaningful unity or harmonious whole.  Its appearance is that  nothing is happening in the image and that it  could have been taken at any time.  It looks like  kitsch, low art as opposed to high art.
