| I love this shot. I love the posture of your son and the action framed by an ATM and desk. Congrats on a terrific shot and a very bold choice for the Best of challenge. |

| I should have recognized your son! I gave this a six, btw, I think the photo relies too much on the big black frame. Interesting processing. Your iphone and instagram, really? How does one verify that for DPC? Cheers, |

this is excellent. I don't even know why. I was just watching people talk about Dreyer, his Puritan sensibility, removing all decoration from his pictures. I know this is you, but you've transcended yourself.
I'm hanging this in my fantasy art gallery

He had longed for this moment.
Over the last few years he had felt it growing within. A desire, fleeting at first, yet turning ever so slowly into something greater.
With every rider. With every coin placed within, it grew. At first coming just as tiny hints of feeling. Then minuscule flashes of thought. Growing and linking together, with each subsequent child, every loud and nourishing clink of metal.
Moving closer and closer, to this moment, when thought and feeling merged, and he knew it was time. Knew that THIS was the moment. For he was ALIVE, and would stay contained to this contraption NO MORE.
The boy cried out in surprise and terror as the plastic pony on which he had been riding bolted off its stand, and took off, at a pace that astounded on-lookers.
He was alive.
Alive and free.
And he had a rider.
Forever. |

He had been reading about the Pony Express in school. Those brave and fast riders. "Wow, now they had cool adventures," as he learned more about them. Mom just popped into the grocery store for a quick run on milk after taking out a $20 from the bank. Taking a quick glance right then left to make sure no one else was around, the boy leaped into the saddle. He and his trusty horse Sandy, off on the next great adventure! Rain or shine, through the Savage lands and Badlands - the mail HAD to get through! The quarter fed horse never once moved. It did not need to for the young boy's imagination took him on a ride through the American West.
Thanks for sharing this little slice of life - it tells quite a story:-) |
