I got “lost” several times while exploring back roads in Montana. As lost as an adventurer without a map or a plan can be. I’ve always been attracted to moody landscapes and love the mystery of a foggy morning more than a perfectly bright and cheery one. This particular day brought me to a ghostly forest – there was a dance going on between all the trees that had been lost in a fire, the lucky ones that survived it and the new life trying to emerge.
Ghostly forest in Montana – 2010. Double exposure.
Doesn’t life feel that way at times? We wrestle with ghosts from our past, even when we think we’ve moved on from them. Some hold on and try to choke out the new life we are trying to forge – casting shadows where there could be light. Yet some how a new seed takes hold, grows some roots and flourishes despite the challenges. There is always hope and nature mirrors that for us repeatedly.

In 2010 I spent 4 months on the road – camping out on the couches of old friends and tenting in our country’s magnificent national parks. The purpose of my travels was to teach myself photography.
I took the “wrong road” several times and got lost in nature – serendipitous moments that always awed me. This is one of them. A fog filled, back country road in Montana – one of my favorite pictures from my travels because it expresses to me the ‘soul of the road’ – the inexplicable longing and mystery of the journey.
What a fellow artist said of this image:
“….this one looks like it’s been taken by a plate camera, exposed by the Montana sun, developed in caffeine and fixed by the dirt and grit of the road.”
A 30″ x 22″ framed print of The Soul of the Road is available for purchase in the studio.
We are open Tuesday – Saturday by appointment at 264 Main Street in Manchester, CT and can be reached by phone: 860.306.0067 or email: tania@taniapalermo.com
