Infinity, Ontario, Canada, 2009

I made this image with a 24mm wideangle lens from a window at the back of a moving train. The tracks converge in the far distance – at a place far beyond our ability to see. With the huge cloud filled sky overhead, and massive forests lining the tracks as they flow without limit, we get a sense of utter infinity – a point in space that seems infinitely distant. It is that sense of endlessness that creates grandeur here. It is an image without bounds.

Convergence is a powerful photographic tool because of its dual nature. It draws the eye deeply into the image, expressing infinity and symbolically suggesting parallels.

Compelling symbolism when parallel lines/lives/universes converge.
