ode to the new year

this old photo dropped out of my port somehow, til stephanie c reminded me of it, and inspired 2019 ;-}

Yeah, that about captures it. The picture is predictive of "the day after" along with the accompanying hangovers. Hope to see a lot more of your highly personal photos in the year ahead. All the best, Jack

An aged stairway which you beautifully captured is, in my opinion, a much more suitable way to commemorate the new year than a beer bottle. The stairway has a better chance of surviving past 2019.

Michael and Jack... thanks for sharing this fun picture with me... it still makes me laugh; glad you enjoyed it ;-} dp

Staged, prepared or not it STILL IS A WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPH! Elegant and artistic. A manifestation of human amusement in the streets of this complex world of cities and jungles. DG

Well seen, taken and presented. Great still life, the title completes the story. Best regards Ken.

Thank you Daniel... i was just walking down 16th street in Washington DC on New Years Day 8 years ago and stumbled upon it! (Like i said, stephanie remarking on it a few days ago inspired me for 2019, so i dug it out and posted it)... Ken, i appreciate your appreciating it as a still life, thanks. ;-} dp

CHEERS! to a new start... still one of my all time faves on P.N

Happy new year, Donna, and cheers! I know that textures are the best on

Jan 1...
