Good candid but it lacks something. One can't have it all when taking street shots.

This image reminds me of the slots in the walls in Venice, Italy for Secret Denunciations for those who wished to call attention to individuals stealing from the state or otherwise violating the law.

Taking Flight

The other shot you took was scarier and processed better
Coming back to it. On a different monitor it looks quite amazing. And when I think that some people want to look and vote on a cell phone!
The interesting thing is that in the thumb format it reminds me of a Tiepolo painted ceilling.
The gesture of the temerary man is almost hieratic.
Glad I looked again to do justice to this shot

Have to add an important thing, since the word "patience" was mentioned in some of the comments.

I am an impulsive photographer (BIG word applied here!) to be precise, a point-and-shoot one.
I used a tripod perhaps 5 times in the last 6 years.
I am an passionate museum goer and an obsessive "seer". Camera in hand.
I see things quickly, I shoot, sometimes missing the crucial moment.
I thank you all for the comments

PS. All confessions start with "I"

I watched it 6 times so far; it's easy to get lost in it.

Making it hard to decide what this essay is about. Is there maybe some subtle profundity that you're overlooking?
Neither alternative.

It's full moon. Shadows flicker on the walls in front of you. Are you half awake? Some memories flutter around your head. Somewhere inside it fragments of images try to find a way out. Some of these images make me shiver: the bottle sliding in eternity form the table, a speeding car, the stop sign ignored, Little Prince's baobab, so many empty chairs, that black smoke and the continuous gurgle of that girl...
From here I fall unto myself and continue with my own weaving.

It's an unaffected, genuine song. I do understand why you thought of this essay as been "feeble" though. I would have thought the same if it were mine. We do have high hopes. Instead of punching people in the chest we get lost in our insomnias!

Enough of this chit chat. On a practical level, the cover of this essay is somehow misleading - or is it not? A beehive? Perhaps the tracks are erased.
The first image is way too literal The one with the boy lost in the grass seems not to fit the general feel.

To quote you: thank you, Paul!

Love the poem.
The end result lacks in connectedness.
I agree completely with Henry but perhaps not in his idea of the format.

The words and the images are not fastended together esthetically and not supporting each other. It's a matter of layout, as simple as that (in my mind).
The words have to dance and be all in either capital letters or lower case, in a stocky font but thin enough, with space between them, as if there is a slight breeze or whispered with a stutter. I don't know if I make myself clear. Words can be superimposed on the image but in a more fragile and nonconformist way.
You seem to start with a lot of intensity and then lose some interest. Who am I to inquire a poet's mind though?!

A good starting idea. I like very much this study of the geometric shapes by scrutinizing the details at hand.
I agree with Henry that we might need some guidance.
The first two images and the last one have to do with the invention of the wheel. Then you have the crisscrossing, very rigid and formal and a few random.
I believe that you have to revisit this and make it more cohesive. A fascinating topic.
