In May of 2004 I was fortunate enough to attend a workshop at the late Galen Rowell's Mountain Light Gallery in Bishop CA with National Geographic Photographer Frans Lanting. This photograph and "Ink" both came from that session.

The subject in both photographs is a bristlecone pine tree, the oldest known organism, some of which are known to be 5000 years old.

What drew me to this picture was the curls in the wood and how they radiated in reverse directions. When I was setting this shot up I purposefully used the branch at the bottom of the frame to lead the eye into the center of the picture. What is interesting about this photograph is that it can easily be turned on its side and the feel of the photograph changes. I'll leave it up to you as to how you feel the photograph is best presented

This photograph and "Ink" are my first dablings into abstracting the details of a subject.
