Embrace

In light of recent events, I wanted to create something, anything, that could express what I am feeling. This is a feeble attempt at that because the feelings and emotions are so strong and varied. In any case, this image shows a duality of perception. The two ropes are bound to one another, tied up, and seemingly strangling each other.

However, I pray that the latter perception, that embrace, is the outcome. Day 282 of my 365 photo a day project. Copyright 2016 Scott Norris Photography scottnorrisphotography.com

A Puzzle of Twisted Nails

Twisted Nails

“The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.” — Douglas Horton It is still amazing (at least to me) how a simple object, removed from it’s normal surroundings, can have so much impact.   This is just a pair of shiny chromed nails twisted and intertwined on a bright white background. Not very complicated.

Right or Left Hands?

Is this two different hands? Or are the both the same? Do you see left hands or right hands? This is my commentary on the state of our political system here in the United States. The two main political parties, at least on the national level, for the most part, are the same. In general,… Continue reading Right or Left Hands?

Path from Point A to Point B

“Adversity is the first path to truth.” — Lord Byron The easiest way to get from here to there is a straight line. That is easier said than done.
