The Long Walk to Forever


I took the title for this photograph from a short story by Kurt Vonnegut. Many people don't realize what a terrific short story writer Vonnegut was. His collection of stories, Welcome to the Monkey House, is one of the best collections of stories written in the 20th century.

I shot this with my Canon 10D converted black and white infrared camera. The camera was converted by Lifepixel. The shot has a certain sense of timelessness to it: a woman and child walking off towards an empty horizon. . . .

Lately, I have been feeling like I have been on this walk, and forever is a long ways away.
