Aporia

The excellent Britticisms posted the photography of Adam Ekberg, and wrote the following:

Old trees, broken branches, fields of wheat, and a light that shines through the landscape, prominent and fortifying…

Adam Ekberg adds cameras or flashlights or a strand of lights to the setting for his landscape photographs and the man-made touch of brightness complements, rather than detracts from, the image. Light is light. Ekberg connects his urban environment with the woods and fields to create a world that, for the viewer, feels more authentic than just a forest of trees. I connect to what I see as it combines what I find beautiful - the earth, the forest, greenery, the untouched land - with what I know everyday: artificiality, technology, and the disposable.

I love these photos; they remind me a bit of another subject I’m always fond of in photography. And she’s right: they should be viewed larger.
