Of course I feel like the photo lacks a subject, but you don’t get a lot of choice after hiking up rocks for two hours with a 3kg camera and a tripod on your back, and a smaller camera swinging from your neck, standing on the only flat surface you can find.

The photo is an unexpected, bold and disorienting mix of tension and calm.

Should not the rocks roll down such a steep incline? Are we not winded by the mere sight of such a foreground?

Yet it is only three slopes, untouched, empty, and forlorn. It calls us home, yet feels unknown, strange. Do we stop? Do we move on?

This place is everywhere and nowhere, the place I hold dear and the place I dread...the place I long for and the place I wish to leave behind...
