Touch'ez

Art Dude, freelance photography, and media consultant at Salt Lake Community College Media Dept. I also work in the Real Estate industry with expansive knowledge of land and commercial aquisitions.
Touching the [ground] is a concept that many of us skip over and separate from throughout life. Not thinking of the importance of grounding. This person in the photograph was doing just this, intentionally. Unknown - his thoughts and I did not know him.
Of late, I have been reminded by my partner and love that this is more important than just in a moment.
This moment was an early sunrise morning visit to a Temple of no respite, that would burn to the ground just 13 hours later never to be visited agin by a human vision of such. Only existing for one week.
When swirling a scene like this one I have been in a light trance of making, without assistance from any drug be it only from a brain injection that I believe we are all capable of in command. Practice makes imperfekt and an intentional mis-spell pun is also a fraction of delight in my general opinions.
As these hands touched the earth a moment decisive, was not labored or even meant to stop in unison. So likewise just above the ground is in my fractional being before the shutter is so plunged. Reaction to a swirl of my own making that I am always in, while taking any picture.
Just a quick look into my world that exists at anytime a camera is around my neck or likely, actually, hanging from my hand ...
A separation is only time and time is an instant or a perhaps even a lifetime ? And then it burns without memory, to the ether. Like this Temple which only existed only briefly, for a remembrance of a moment that is received and given by it's visit's, for only a few thousand, then ash to ash and dust to sky.
