I was recently reading the NYT magazine form September and a featured article reminded me of Lindsay W. and her current research involving spaces and places. The images above take place in Eithiopa… . the photographer describes the inspiration for the photos as  feeling like a suspension in time and a real feeling of nowhere.  When talking about the landscape, the photographer also mentions that the “comfort zone” is completely non existent but you get “used to it”  after a while. I was thinking about how Lindsay describes her own workplace and the deterioration that surrounds her constantly. Frazzetta describes the volcano shots as, ”  an atmosphere from hell, the noise of the lava, the gurgling, it is incredible but also hell”. Perhaps, we can all view ” Place” as an inspiration for us to rise up above our current situations… and preserver forward!   Personally, not having a classroom and traveling all over daily really does feel like  “hell”  but I am honestly striving to see the positive this year in my own situation, similar to Lindsay’s own frustrations with her workplace spaces…. .
