Frank Relle, 'Lemeire'

The Friday Politics Thread Takes a Quiet Moment

The swamp at two in the morning is not quiet; it is one of the loudest places I have ever been,” [photographer Frank] Relle says. “But a photograph of it is silent. And in that silence, there is an opening. A threshold….That is what I wanted when I was small, watching the sky change. Not to describe it. To bring someone else to the edge of it. To share it without words.”

That’s really lovely. Read more about Frank Relle and see more from his series Until the Bayou here.

Be nice to each other today, be nice to the mods, and don’t threaten Mayor McSquirrel.
