These images were made while casually looking -- the first during a walk with the dogs in the garden and the second while riding the Vespa.
Not sure what to make of either of them aside from sensing a connection between what I saw and how I feel looking at them now. That's something right?
The bottom image is familiar. I wonder if there is envy expressed---as if you are saying "you got it lucky, pal, standing alone, peaceful." But, perhaps it is more of a salute to the quiet moments, a nod to the power of time spent alone with one's thoughts.
ReplyDeleteFor me, the top image celebrates the skewed ladder. The other shapes stand vertical, aligned. The ladder provides a contrast in direction---a freshness. The whole scene makes me think of the building blocks I played with as a child.
I think you're right about envy. I search out places that are peaceful and have a measure of aloneness. Rather than searching perhaps I should get some...
DeleteI had to look at the picture with the ladder again and I see your point about the building blocks. There is a simplicity to the shapes that is much like the world as a kid with a box of blocks.
Another expressed desire for simplicity maybe? I'll have to look through some of my recent photographs for patterns.
