Photography in Obscurity

Updated: Dec 22, 2022

It is that which is set but made unclear, light skewed,

whose natural elements appear somewhat distorted,

and yet in its state holds a resonance and a significance that is dated,

pointing to a certain time-period not in the present nor possibly in the future.


In holding its moment together, it attains relevance through its reality.

It edges towards the dystopian but still retains a sufficiency of utopia.

Noted in its state is the humility of the ecosystem, and also its charm.

It radiates in its infectious purity and glows untainted.

Yet there is a fragility to it, its constant is not a guarantee even as change is guaranteed.

As a saying goes, “that which is natural cannot be stopped, but can be corrupted”

It portrays a certain frailty of individual moments and spaces, both important and mundane, to conscious acts powered by ego and greed

In these moments of frailty lie a fear, a fear of loss.

A fear validated by non-recurrence of singular happenings over long periods.


At this point of appreciation of visible obscurity, the unique scene is captured, and the question begs, until when next?

At this point of appreciation of visible obscurity, it is left to wonder how such moments affect, have affected and will affect a decision, a concept, a belief, a philosophy, and their corresponding ripple effects through time on a relationship, an economy, a kingdom state, civilisations and their ecosystems.
