Three Graces

Alicia,
I thought it was probably by goodman too! And I know Lesley fairly well, so I refrained from making a laudatory comment because she'd only think I was sucking up to her with a bit of gratuitous flattery. She gets far too much of that for her own good, of course, so I said nothing as an act of kindness to her. Now that I know it was not by She, but instead by You, let me add my compliments on a very nice photograph.

The starkness of the B&W is super-duper of course, as are the reflected echoes of the Three Graces, but what I enjoyed the most was the relationship of that with the next two horizontal 'layers'. In the mid-layer, the people are tiny impressionistic figures representative of 'types' ... such as we see in architect's drawings of public spaces. They seem apart from the Three Graces in more than just distance. And in the third, background layer, the buildings on the skyline have an even more allusive character, as if just a flat cut-out background. Overall, this diminishing reality is very absorbing. Far too good for Lesley, now that I examine it more closely.

OK, I'll 'fess up. I have done a couple of them myself.


Just a couple, though!

Yep, I was thinking of Cartier-Bresson's shot too, from the thumb. Then I saw the pawdrix comment. Zounds! He's pretty damn perceptive, that pawdrix guy!

For me it was:

The boy stood on the burning deck,
his feet were covered in blisters.
He thought his knickers were too hot,
so he borrowed a pair of his sisters.

I guess I'm a little more sensitive than Art & Judy.

I know what he called it, but my point wouldn't have sounded so snappy that way. And I never could see the damn snake anyway.
