the prodigal returns Siddhartha Encounters a Distraction on the Path to Nirvana

This one grabs me, Jack.  The rectangular panels look like a mosaic of maps of an incompletely explored world, with a Total Perspective Vortex in the middle.  Definitely a distraction.

This image underlines, once again, your ability to make the title of a photograph as part of the overall experience of looking at it. It is a component of the amalgam, not a tag. For mortals, this is a very difficult task since a title may as well ruin the experience.

Here, I somehow feel that I might have seen Siddharta and the distraction on my own even if there were no title.

And, part of me is saying: Kidding?

Arigato for the comments, mucho gusto! (I am thoroughly multi-lingual as you can see. I have three tongues with which to catch flies that buzz too close.

 

Mark - I'm not surprised that this one appeals to you, knowing your work which often wanders well off the beaten path, much to my delight. I just wish there was more of it.

 

Bulent - As you've probably figured out by now, I spend a lot of time trying to decipher the codex of myself. It's a fascinating study (I recommend it to everyone) and extends to my photography as well which inevitably reflects the psyche of its creator. I believe this is true with everyone whether they realize it or not. I think my work is often as much conceptual as it is visual. It depends a lot on the ability of the viewer to channel in on a particular point of view, often expressed in my titles. Of course you might like the photograph for completely different reasons which is certainly fine. But my intent remains my intent and I'm gratified when someone "gets it".

 

 

I like your ability to take crap and make it art, not very many people can accomplish that

I find the so-called crap more interesting than the temples and stands of blooming cherry blossoms that people are always directing me to.

!!!!

Accidental art, and you using  so wisely. Nirvana.
