Photographs I didn't know I had - 2009/2010

The idea of it

In memory of a real tree

This tree (on the far left) is gone now, probably as some sort of a safety measure to do with the road. These are two photos I took in August 2008, I found the whole scene eerie for some reason. The banal location - a Knocknacarra suburb made up primarily of B&Bs - made it all the stranger, as if the combination of a full moon shrouded in cloud, a twisting road and smooth, towering tree were not meant to be placed in this context. But now the tree is just a stump and a scene like this won't ever happen there again. Which doesn't really matter, does it? It's just a photograph after all. I'm sure there must be plenty of other people who have noticed it and missed it; I suppose I'm just glad I have a record of it at least.

Brief

An obsession that flared up on Friday and frittered away this evening. Or maybe I just got fed up with the cold. Either way, it's out of my system now; though I'm sure I'll catch myself standing in the road outside people's houses in the dark taking photographs trying to stand as still as possible so they don't come out blurry.
