The Back Porch

I have questions about this photo, also having looked at the one showing the gate: what is your purpose? what do you want to tell your viewers? Is the confusion intentional? The bars of the chair in the centre melt into the columns of the porch. It is also hard to distinguish the single elements under and around the table with the vase.

Thank you for your response.

I know what I was trying to say. Communication is a 2 way street.  the sender sends a message, the reciever recieves it, interprets it, and then sends a response.  Using words to ask a question is unfair.  Send me a photo that seems like a reasonable response.

Fair enough, I got your point.

I cannot respond with a photo, because this is not my genre. My photos are in my portfolio.

However the confusion at the bottom is juxtaposed with the neat and ordered roof at the top of the photo.

PS I agree, photos should not need words. If the message is clear.

The 'language' of imagry transcends genre.  It seems to me that you are locking yourself into some pretty rigid boundaries.  If my photo works at you like a sore tooth enough that you have to ask questions about it, then clearly you are responding to it on some level.

The fact that you are responding tells me you have it in you to respond appropriately. I bet you already have a photo that can respond to my photo. 'Genre' is irrelevant.

I like the mood of better days gone by created by the monochrome processing. Interesting angle, like trying to peek into the life of others without being able to reach in. And I love the chairs.

:-)

No sore tooth. Just curiosity and an open mind.

I believe that there are different "photographic dialects" to which I am more or less responsive, or not at all in some cases.

Anyway, I had a look at the folder and realised that this picture speaks to me much clearer when I look at it within its "series".
