Quite often, I will photograph an image without any understanding of what I am looking at. I just feel an emotional response. I have to search hard for what it is that attracted me to the subject. I keep digging deeper into the imagery, searching with my camera, until I finally come across the focus of my fascination. This, “Hidden Diamond” is such an image. It was born from a deep, subconscious, emotional connection.
Upon encountering this segment of fence, I felt as if I had found an ancient, sacred monument. It felt like I was encountering Stonehenge, or Machu Pichu. The fence was being engulfed and hidden away, by the untamed wilderness, of a lowly, common vine. Perhaps, someday soon, it will be lost to human memory – as is befitting of all, weathered old monuments.
