“…not only are things not what they seem, they are not even what they are called” ---Francisco de Quevedo ----- At the time I wasn’t sure how to best treat this piece. It is deceptively suggestive, humorous and a genuine portrait of street life on the corner of Church St and 5th Ave in Nashville, Tenn. For a long while I censored the piece until this title presented itself

Amazing painterly work of art, Wayne! My sincere compliments, my friend! Best regards! PDE

Wayne glad that it has emerged from digital limbo with a title. Fascinating scene takes me through abstract and surreal elements to the touching human story at its core. Love it!

Thanks, Pierre.

Thanks, Tony. Yeah, it felt good to finally let this one out.

Artistic and visually/graphically captivating. With all due respect, it is more a painting than a photograph. So sorry, I am a purist. DG

Thanks, Daniel. No apology necessary. My two worlds merged long ago. Long ago I abandoned my photography and taught myself to paint. When I returned to photography, I saw differently. I see now as a painter first and as a photographer second.
