An Outlaw's Lament
>>
I was invited to photograph the home of Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon shortly after Donald's death and the ensuing estate sale that stripped it of much of the character that Donald and Jane had created during their lives. Like many a New England farmhouse at the back of the building an attached woodshed provided space for both wood and the detritus of life. In one corner, antique bottles line the shelf of the woodshed at Eagle Pond Farm in Wilmot Flats, Danbury, NH.

From that shelf arose this image. In creating it I tried to understand what motivated Donald to create or maintain this collection of old bottles over the years. I suppose that, to some extent, I am guilty of transposing my own grief over the loss of my wife, Alice, over Donald's personal experience but my interpretation of the scene was that his grief over Jane's loss led him to keep this as an homage to the days when they were outlaws and wordsmiths together. Thus the image of Jane on the wall.

Wayne D. King’s images are a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into a dreamlike quintessentialism designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King seeks to take the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.
