tai 3 Posted June 5, 2019 Interesting funny haiku picture, Jack! I had to write a haiku comment (this is my debut). "Some go up. Some go to a dead end. Some look around. " Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana Link to comment
Jack McRitchie 150 Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks for the haiku, Tatiana. I don't think this picture is for everyone. It was sort of a test to see what kind of response it would get (which is just about what I expected.) Link to comment
mark_q 0 Posted June 6, 2019 Jack, Don't give up on me. This is perfectly in my alley. I wish I managed to detect something similar around me here, at least vaguely. Kudos! Link to comment
wolfgangarnold 142 Posted June 6, 2019 Jack, I'd second Markku - please continue sharing such photos. I love how the metal thing pushes into the frame urging the sign to quickly hide (in a horizontal movement) while vertical pipe and streak of light a astonished bystanders. Link to comment
DGorinstein 20 Posted June 7, 2019 Oh Jack: I think this is one of your most.....unexplainable, hard to interpret photos, after being one of your most ardent fans. This image completely threw me off, especially the very fine detail of the half sign of warning (!). A strange mixture of elements, utterly unfathomable, but because of that, ultimately captivating and enthralling. I am at a loss of words to praise this "simplistic" and utterly enigmatic image. You truly have a special ability which makes me to bow, deeply, in respect (in the Japanese custom of bowing). My sincere and humble respect. Kiotsukete kudasai. DG Link to comment
DGorinstein 20 Posted June 7, 2019 P.S. "The essence of haiku is "cutting" (kiru).This is often represented by the "juxtaposition of two images or ideas"and a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related." Jack, hello master. Domo arigato gosaimashita for another lesson, not of language but of ideas, pure and sparkling, coming afloat. I yield once again to your use not only of Ying-Yang, the joining of the opposites, but for the psychological riddles. I humbly believe your photography goes way deeper. Onegaishi mas. Daniel.
