Theories of Time and Space, by Natasha Trethewey

You can get there from here, though

there's no going home.

Everywhere you go will be somewhere

you've never been. Try this:

head south on Mississippi 49, one-

by-one mile markers ticking off

another minute of your life. Follow this

to its natural conclusion – dead end

at the coast, the pier at Gulfport where

riggings of shrimp boats are loose stitches

in a sky threatening rain. Cross over

the man-made beach, 26 miles of sand

dumped on the mangrove swamp – buried

terrain of the past. Bring only

what you must carry – tome of memory,

its random blank pages. On the dock

where you board the boat for Ship Island,

someone will take your picture:

the photograph – who you were—

will be waiting when you return.

They were created using Photomatix, slightly modified in  iPhoto.

It was created from three exposures bracketed around the main image:
