ananda_chaudhuri 0 Posted July 27, 2002 Sipapu is a Navajo word meaning 'the place of emergence'. The Navajo believe that life originated from a hole in the earth and thus Sipapu has deep spiritual significance for the Navajos. When I was taking this picture I was thinking about a woman...and the life that originates from within her self. The funny thing is that we usually think of desert as a dead place and there was this dune which suggested there was life within. Link to comment

tom_sapienza 0 Posted July 27, 2002 Saw this image in the small view and thought it was a bellybutton, but that it was cool how it looked like a landscape, too. Now I like that it's a landscape but it looks like a figure, too. Link to comment
root 0 Posted July 28, 2002 The dunes / anatomy comparison is wonderful. Now honestly, did you see it in the viewfinder? Link to comment
ananda_chaudhuri 0 Posted July 29, 2002 I did see it in the viewfinder, I have another picture of the dunes which looks like two bodies lying side by side taken minutes before this one. Sand is sensual in this kind of light. Link to comment
