Hidden - a photo on Flickriver

Hidden

            I really need to get away from the urban posts for at least this photo, and perhaps the next.  Ironically, I need to get back to the bridge posts soon though as I need to catch up on my Bridge studies for those following my Kickstarter project, and as I have been doing new rounds of the Portland bridges I have developed that series further.

But for now, into the forest.  This one was found up in the Mt. Hood forest at a campground, though I forget just which.  I caught a glimpse of these trees between the trunks of the two closer trees.  The way they were leaning forward almost gave them impression of them shambling by while I sat hidden from view watching some secret arboreal parade.  

As I have with clouds and sand, I have been slowly building a series on the forest, shot sort of in this manner.  Which is to say, the forest is sort of a chaotic place, or at least in terms of humanity's definition of chaos.  The forest actually has some alien sense of order that I imagine is just beyond our total comprehension.  So I have been trying to find this through photography, and in the process trying to buck conventional modes of composition doing so.  The trick is to keep just enough recognizable sense of composition that we (people) can look at the photo and at least comprehend a portion of it, but to not include so much that that human sense of order defines what is being photographed.  If that makes any sense at all.  It does to me, at least when I am standing out in the forest amidst the green and the moss and the quiet noises that the trees make when no one else is around.
