In The Blue
Where Words Are Not

9.10.11 INSPIRATION

////////////////////////////////////

"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;

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,

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.

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

"ON THE PLANE"//PHILLIP KALANTZIS-COPE

//////////////////////////////

There are precious few things in the world today that haven't already been photographed, and the view from an aeroplane window is certainly not one of them. But I am always on the look out for photographers who are able to approach cliches or the over familiar in new and interesting ways, and make us reconsider what we think we already know.

PHILLIP KALANTZIS-COPE'S series 'on the plane' does exactly this. His images show us what is both a familiar yet unnatural environment, and somehow by looking at these images, the wonder of air travel becomes more apparent.
