Walk with me

The first thing that a lot of photographers learn is that a photograph should tell a story. It should convey some feeling, sentiment, emotion. I’m beginning to think, though, that it’s not possible to have it any other way. Is this really an element to worry about, that an image captured will be storyless or devoid of meaning?

It was a bluebird morning today so I took my camera on my walk to work. I started photographing shadows — the ultimate negative space. Fleeting, silhouettes of nothing, of the movements of objects blocking the sun. And yet that is its own story, whether real, make believe or imaginitive. Par example:

So lonely, yet so present… and

some abandoned garbage that cast a shadow I thought looked like a pig. sweet.
