Pencil Trees
Pencil Trees was a one second time exposure looking out from the entrance of a tent camping on Jackfish Bay in Superior National Forrest north of Wisconsin on the Canadian Side. I was writing in my journal about what I was experiencing in the moment using a pencil prior to capturing the image, when suddenly the lead of the pencil broke. In mild despair, I had to now use a knife to sharpen the writing tool. The results of my shaving the pencil stem looked remarkedly similar to the trees neutral color shade in the forest.
