Photography, Art and Work: RIP

RIP

By A girl - 27/06/2011 07:55 - Netherlands

Today, it has been 8 months since I started a photography project in which I would take a picture of the same tree every day for a year. I just heard a noise outside. They cut the tree down. FML

Today, I was awakened by the sound of chain-saws. Moments later a tree branch came through my roof. FML

Today, I got home to find my truck smashed by a fallen old tree. I was going to have the tree removed next week. FML

Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML

Misunderstanding

Today, my boss sent me to remove a tree from a client's home. So I went and cut down the tree, only for my boss to show up an hour later, speechless. I was supposed to remove a sapling that had sprouted through the driveway tarmac, not the 100-year-old prizewinning Japanese cherry tree. FML

Today, a 100-foot maple tree fell on my house. I was inside. I was sleeping. FML

Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML

Today, a storm dropped a tree across my road. I would have moved it with my tractor, but there was a tree on that too. FML

Today, my husband finally got round to cutting down a tree limb in our front yard after months of me begging him. It fell on me. FML

Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML

Today, I was skiing and crashed into a tree. It was the only tree on the slope. FML

That's so sad. You can keep doing the project and just show the stump. Turn it into some artsy go green anti-human thing.

I'm sorry! if you took a picture of the tree cut down, or the stump, it would be very artistic and would have a bitter sweet ending. And could have some environmental moral.

take a picture of the fallen tree and empty space and plant something else? idk it could show nothing lasts forever but there's always a new beginning.

Oh god! that's awful... Maybe now you could take pictures of where the tree was, and change your project into something about mans destruction of the earth?

Continue the project. Let the viewer interpret the absence. To me, such a project might highlight a natural take on a jarring destruction as everything surrounding the tree continues untouched.
