The Ones I Like List of 2008 – A Countdown [#2]

© All rights reserved.

passionate earth – I set out fairly early in 2008 to do something I hadn’t done yet in my photography — create a series of intentionally unified images. The result, my red series, or as I refer to it, passionate earth. To date, I have eighteen completed photos in the series, and probably another ten or so in the queue, waiting to be completed. I’ve enjoyed the exercise of “creating” greatly, so I plan to continue with passionate earth in 2009.

In addition to being the year I went “red,” 2008 was also the year that square won. Many of my passionate earth photos…many of my photos period…were presented with a square frame. Square is so nice and neat; it’s everything that my photography isn’t. It’s the box that I refuse to be placed it. But something about the way “square” feels I like. It’s quirky (not the standard 8×10 offering) and it’s contained (let’s hear it for our favorite parallelogram!) all in the same breath. Who doesn’t like that…viva la ying and viva la yang!

I chose passionate earth because it was one of the first photos that I created from the series and it best captures the feeling that I want to convey with the set. It turned out just as I planned it. It is also the series’s namesake…for precisely that reason. To see more of the passionate earth series, you can check out the flickr set here.
