I find "Art" in all forms to be very interesting. In the sense that even though the creator of the piece may have had a specific vision and inspiration for it, when viewed thru the eyes of the spectators, it may touch each of the viewers in very different and meaningful ways.
I recently came upon a sculpture called "The Collective". It is made from salvaged propane tanks that have been turned into faces that make up a large head. The creator of this piece, Artist Paul Bobrowitz, said his inspiration came from "... his belief in the collective unconscious — an inherited part of the unconscious that is common to all people. That is what I was thinking of when I was putting all of these individual faces together to make the head, which is the collective," he said. "That's us. We are a collective of everything and everybody we've ever encountered."
I know that when some people have viewed this sculpture, that it has made people think of death, the holocaust, or has given them very grim and scary feelings. However, when I viewed it I had rush of different feelings, emotions and thoughts come over me. When looking at all of the very "different" faces coming together to form "one" collective head it reminded me of several things...
1. Although we may be all different in one way or another - we are all still very much the same... and we are all brothers and sisters.
2. I can't help but think about what is currently going on in this world of ours. Covid-19 is and will touch each and every one of us in one form or another, whether we actually get sick or someone that we know will get sick; affect us emotionally, mentally, financially, etc. This virus will not discriminate based on race, religion, age, gender, occupation or which region we may happen to live. So again, in this aspect... we are all the same.
I took the picture, to serve as a reminder to us all, that though we may all have some differences... we all put our pants on one leg at a time... we all have hearts, souls, and feelings. So let us all continue to have compassion, empathy, patience, forgiveness and unconditional love for everyone as we unite together as one "collective" during this unprecedented time.
Wishing the best of health and happiness to all,
Don

I took my dated D800 out for a spin recently, first time in months after acquiring a Z6. With the Sigma 100-400 mounted, I'm always impressed by the detail this combo provides...

Really amazing sharpness
A camera that should not retire

I wanted to share how much I've enjoyed the 35mm 1.8 VC in different ways as a walk around lens. I didn't do any cropping.
