it’s all in the details

this is one of those images that kills me that i can’t publish in high resolution. the delicate structures of the lichen are foreign and mesmerizing. i tried doing a tight crop on a few of the particularly photogenic blooms, but the full page bleed with hardly any white space (i call it breathing room) just didn’t feel like STILL to me. so i encourage you to zoom in on your screen, and take a walk through this other-worldly landscape at your own pace. maybe i’ll bump into you, i plan to hike over by that ochre bloom in the upper left–the one with the two large overlapping mesas. i think the view from the top could be spectacular.
