When this was first done way back, I was hoping to see images of literary personification or something stimulating/creative and was disappointed with all the hat's on dogs kind of stuff.
Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence |

Well this is now the "Post your favorite Simon & Garfunkel lyrics" thread and it's much like a bridge over troubled water. |

Just to keep this photography related:
When I think back on all the crap I've learned in highschool
Its a wonder I can think at all
Though my lack of education hasn't hurt me much
I can read the writings on the walls

I am just a poor boy and my storys seldom told
Ive squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jest, still the man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest, hmmmm

I am sleep deprived!
Are they trying to tell you something
You're missing that one final screw
You're simply not in the pink my dear
To be honest you haven't got a clue
I'm going slightly mad |

Now I'm laying out my winter clothes and wishing I were gone
Goin' home
Where the New York city winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, ohhhh, goin' home....

In the clearing stands a boxer
and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
of every glove that laid him down
and cut him while he cried out
in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving!"
But the fighter still remains...
(I know I've messed up and missed chunks, but it's late and I'm blond and senile... sue me) |

So much for posting a fine example of literary Personification...
Looks like were going to dress up our poor pets again, I suppose?
"Mama's gonna take my Nikon away" |
