A little visual letting off of steam around the frustrations of having people periodically attempt to have me change my pronunciation and accent. Approx 400mm by 400.
Day 24 of 365
I took this photograph couple of days ago while we were heading to library with Aura. In my mind this picture compares very closely to Day 19. Not only is it taken almost from the same spot, but the light is a bit similar and again the whole picture is based on a very well known visual motif of silhouette figure. I hope the guy is at least someone else this time! When I took that earlier picture, I wrote about feeling mixed about it because pictures which are too much based on known visual motifs become clichés easily. Looking it now, I feel I need to lighten my stance and focus it a bit.
I don't want to be against visual motifs. If you look at the history of photography, it quickly becomes clear that it isn't reasonable stance to take. As a matter of fact, many classic photographs can be considered, if not only to be based on visual motifs, but also something which have created them in the first place. Like someone who commented my earlier picture said, there are only a finite number of different visual motifs, maybe just a few hundred. And being 'language of photography' they can be put to use in different ways, which means that the motifs don't control photography as much as one would think. So, yes I'm lightening my stance here, but here comes the focus part. I think that if photography is solely based on repeating these visual motifs, it is reduced, I think, to be repeated for didactic purposes. To me, some genres of photography are close to this, but I can understand there are different approaches to this. In my mind I would like to think that good photography also needs a context, a story or some other 'interpretative dimension' to make them something more than just 'pictures of the world'. I know it's a challenging claim to make, but it is also very much something that I need to learn myself too.

Ferdinand was a Portuguese cat who hated staying put.
Born by the docks, he watched the horizon like it owed him something. One night, he slipped onto a ship and claimed it as his own. He crossed endless water, narrow passages, and storms that sent other cats fleeing back to warm bowls and familiar hands.
Magellan spent one of his nine lives far from home and never returned himself.
But a smaller cat did—lean, salt-scented, eyes wide with knowing. When it stepped onto the Lisbon docks, the world felt smaller. And in the quiet curl of a Portuguese harbor cat’s tail, the truth settled in:
the world is round, and a curious cat can prove it.
A cat had proven it could be circled.

For a late Freight Car Friday offering here's a view of Berkshire and Eastern Railroad train EDMO is exiting the west portal of the 4.75 mile long Hoosac Tunnel at MP 420.4 on the B&E operated Pan Am Southern Freight Mainline, the one time Boston and Maine Fitchburg Division.
The classic Conrail can opener logo adorns an empty tri level auto rack that provides a great visual of how tight the clearances are on this legendary bore. Orignally double tracked, when the tunnel was reduced to single track in 1957 the rails were centered to allow for TOFC loads. Clearances were increased in 1997 by lowering the track and again in 2007 by notching the roof providing the current clearance of 19 ft 6 in to clear most auto racks as well as double stacked international containers.

Jökulsárlón is a visual dream if you like landscapes or even if you don't....:) The sunset was extremely spectacular that evening and although the wind was too fierce for cool sunset reflection shots, it was still a real nice photographic moment...

Wooden sculpture Garuda, king of birds, masterfully crafted on the top of a beautifully decorated beam from the open-air pavilion roof structure.
This photo series was taken around a wood carver’s mansion in Bali — not inside the house itself, but in the surrounding spaces: a private temple, a garden gazebo, and an open-air carved bed under a roof.
A Second World War pillbox near Bodiam Castle in East Sussex. Visual would have been in the front line of a cross-channel invasion in 1940. I am sure the pillbox would have been valuable then as a defensive structure. Recent scholarship has reached the conclusion that the castle was built to provide an illusion of martial strength rather than as a major fortification. Perhaps the brick pillbox was also to give more a feeling of security?
