Hi!
Okay, it's blurry. It's not a motion blur like a car, scooter, bike
or even a pedestrian going by. It's me, the photographer, moving past
the scene that's causing the blur. When I'm walking through a crowded
city, I don't make connections with most of those that I pass. I only
see them peripherally. I walk by them without noticing them, and they
don't notice me - as the fellow in the foreground of the photo seems
to be unaware of my presence.
So, to me, this is about the disconnect of living and moving about in
a big city. The irony that among millions of people, we actually have
fewer close relationships - we walk around with blinders on, oblivious
to what's around us. It's as if we have sensory overload, and it all
becomes a blur - just like the picture. Have you ever felt that way?
I have.
Gee, I suppose I misunderstood the photo somewhat then, didn't I, Frank?
I think the two paragraphs above are perfectly normal/proper/good thing
to say. You come across just like Frank I met on the list and befriended.
I'd rather you and others talked like that more, given of course they
would be brutal and honest as I usually require ;-).
Great stuff, Frank. I mean that!
Boris
