We leave marks of passing
like great, flat flowers of rose mallow
placed for others to follow . . .
the stars on Orion’s belt
are the eyes, the tongue, and the feet
leading the way over granite mountains.
from BLOOD TRAIL, F. McGinn
Archetypes and metaphors are the tools of the poet and writer, so meaning in photography grew naturally. Life's journey takes us to powerful places, often intense beyond the bearing of words. Photography brings a fresh rediscovery of an enlarged world's haunting images.
