i’ve always enjoyed seeking out and shooting lone dead trees
neighbor was getting his phd and pulled a number of the aspiring sociopaths in our neighborhood for a series of intelligence and behavioral tests to use in his dissertation
one of the segments was having subjects draw things…one was a tree
I remember doing a complicated and overly detailed sketch of a bare tree
he asked, why a dead tree?
it isn’t necessarily dead
then why aren’t there any leaves?
maybe it’s winter
ah…why bare then?
a bare tree isn’t hiding anything and I really like bare trees
I was ten or eleven then, apparently I was precocious (or so I heard later)
