A local artist painted the gaudy face of an Indian on a huge boulder by the side of a dirt road not far from Lundy Lake. As I photographed it, I noticed that as I changed my vantage point, the face itself changed from a description to an abstraction, making it incongruous in the process. This image was made with a 28mm wideangle lens from straight on, leaving the left portion of the image as boulder, and the right portion as face. If we study the image closely, we can see the face looking directly at us. Or we can imagine it in profile. To some, it might appear to be primarily a hodgepodge of color, and not an Indianhead at all. The white war paint bisects the image, abstracting the photograph to create an incongruous feast for the imagination.
