Thurber's Dog

You are astonishing. In addition to the dog, I can't avoid the conviction that I am about to see this man start walking up the shadow like stairs.

Tail lights

Best era of auto design ever, bar none. I was designed about the same time (well I'm cheating by a few years in this case). My tail lights are not so memorable, alas.

Rachel will be pissed at you. Her turf. However, I think she'll be impressed as well. I know I am.
Nice set of headlights, BTW.

Waist
by zeuszen

Comment:
Beautiful movement here. It got me thinking about how one thing can suggest another. The colours are bright and uninhibited, and that tells me what kind of movement to see. In this case I think of something like West African. Lots of waist, in fact. And open, libidinous music. Had the colours been instead pastels I'd have had to imagine a different kind of movement entirely. Less waist. And a more contained music.

It's also an erotic photograph (much more so than any nude). See? One thing does indeed suggest another!

You are a Wharf Tart, ain't cha?

Nothing wrong with that. I'm a Horse Whore, I guess. Crikey; that doesn't sound right.

Anyway, it's another fine example of why the LB leaves the viewer to do some work. It really is the most accommodating lens ever made.

This is strange. It's a sweet stripe, rather than sweet spot. Reminds me of the aftermath of a bush fire. Have you seen Sue Robertson's Fire Tree portfolio? I think it's very much like your own work. She has your eye. Or you have hers. One of those.

Abbazia di Sant'Antimo

1112/1113. It's really quite pitiful. Fortunately, you don't care at all about that.

Originally posted by ubique: This is remarkable. Your title explains its provenance, but even so it is still a very interesting study of the margins of art and technology. In this photograph, those margins overlap. Shapes and tones and spatial relationships that are aesthetically pleasing, and yet they have a technological purpose independent of all that. I wonder how this fits with the idea that beauty is aptness to purpose? Surely here, the beauty and the purpose are not connected at all? Hopefully zeuszen might comment on this, and help me out. Meantime, its a 9.

Oh dear, don't I feel silly now? Still, you might still comment anyway I suppose.

Oh, this is remarkable. So I'll remark ... it's wonderfully multi-layered in terms of street stuff. The unwitting parody, the perfect title that came as a no-cost extra, and look his suit! It's beautiful! He's dressed better than the gals in the window. And on top of everything, he appears as an actor, standing right on his mark, just waiting for his spotlight and ... his cue. Too damn good.
