The Daily Ink is the voice of Utata. Yes, your voice, our voices ... all the voices. We'd be tickled pink if our members helped us define that voice. And this, Utatans, would be your chance to do that.

Archival Photo
Fredine's images have a quality that is prehistoric, or possibly post-apocalyptic. They exist outside of any human context. They could have been taken at the dawning of the world, or at the twilight of existence. There is nothing to seize the eye, but the nothingness is compelling. The poverty of visual reference doesn't equate to a poverty of emotion. These photographs are, to me, powerfully and profoundly moving. They reinforce one's sense of smallness, of aloneness.
