The Road Not Taken



Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

-Robert Frost





"The Road Not Taken" is my favorite classic American poem. This weekend, I plan on taking pictures of different pathways/roads with people walking upon them.
This is a quick edit of the trail up Dog Mountain. The pictures don't capture the "zen" essence I am striving to achieve.

This weekend, I plan to summit Mt. Hood and visit the LDS Portland Temple. I hope to capture beautiful landscape shots, along with expansive landscape scaled with individuals. Next week, I plan on layering Temple shots with Mt. Hood pictures. I believe that individuals can have spiritual experiences through church and being outside.  The feelings emulated while being on top of a mountain is spiritually awakening and comparable to attending the Temple. I hope to illustrate that belief through layered pictures.
