Invincible Summer

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”
― Albert Camus

This photo was taken on an extremely frosty and foggy morning near Bridgnorth. Whenever I can take some time away from work and other commitments, on either Wednesday or Thursday mornings, I meet up with a few other photographer friends and we explore different places in the Midlands. This usually means an early start, which isn't my most favourite thing. The morning this photo was taken, we made an impromptu stop near Quatt, drawn to the spot after driving past a series of beautiful frosty fields. The man in the photo is a photographer friend of mine, walking along the road to stake out his next shot.

Of course I love this one; I think that we all look for photo creations that we wish we had made, and I love image, title and quotation here.The road appears so grey, the figure so lonely… the sky -its delicate scratched blue - seems to hint at subtle possibilities. Something of hope, something, perhaps invincible.

I’ve been reading John Berger’s “Confabulations “ this morning; he had been reading Camus and thinking about how we are all , in some way, orphans. “ An orphan one learns to be self-sufficient and one learns the tricks of the trade that go with that. One becomes a free-lance.” Perhaps because of reading this I see orphanhood in the picture…Although…is the figure carrying a child? Perhaps it’s Cormac McCarthy’s The Road…Whichever. Invincible.
