Excellent shot! Stay well!

Of course I love this one; I think that we all look for photo creations that we wish we had made, and I love image, title and quotation here.The road appears so grey, the figure so lonely… the sky -its delicate scratched blue - seems to hint at subtle possibilities. Something of hope, something, perhaps invincible.

I’ve been reading John Berger’s “Confabulations “ this morning; he had been reading Camus and thinking about how we are all , in some way, orphans. “ An orphan one learns to be self-sufficient and one learns the tricks of the trade that go with that. One becomes a free-lance.” Perhaps because of reading this I see orphanhood in the picture…Although…is the figure carrying a child? Perhaps it’s Cormac McCarthy’s The Road…Whichever. Invincible.

In this case, the figure is carrying a backpack containing camera equipment. He's a member of the camera group, scoping out his next shot...

Oddly though, the last time I went out in foggy weather to the local park, there were a number of men pushing toddlers around in prams, which, I thought, was very strange!
