The John Day Nationwide Monument, Painted Hills Unit is close to Mitchell, Oregon, USA. One look on the panorama conjures millennia of utmost geologic modifications. Specialists inform us a as soon as tropical local weather was adopted by a volcanic interval through the Eocene and Oligocene epoch.
Sizzling, moist and funky, dry climate extremes produced layers of volcanic crimson ash, mudstone, siltstone, shale and lignite. Chemical parts within the soil together with aluminum, iron, magnesium, titanium, and others blended and oxidized. The colourful mounds we see at present is the results of this gradual 50 million yr geologic transition.
Mockingly it was throughout an outing to the Painted Hills that I started a photographic transition. Unfulfilled with capturing goal, representational photographs, I started to discover different approaches. Influenced and impressed by the work and prose of inventive function fashions like Man Tal, Bruce Barnbaum, and the cadre of different expressive photographers, I reexamined my private motivation and ambition.
The images on this folio characterize transition first steps. They characterize a brand new mindset, a brand new inventive intent. The transition has begun. I don’t anticipate the transition to be fast or simple. I’m solely hoping it gained’t take a millennium!
