A Momentary Disturbance in the State of Things

Well done , Jack!

Interesting! A fleet moment in time.

The first thing that strikes me is the similarity of your sequence to a short piece of movie film.  This implies that it shows both a progression in time from one shot to the next, and that there was an equal amount of time between the shots.  But it's not a movie, and there is no evidence that the sequence shown actually occurred the way it's presented - there are five other ways to arrange the shots, all valid.  It makes me think about time, something that always intrigues me.

The second thing that it says to me has to do with how a person's presence (or life) might appear to have no effect on their surroundings.  The man passes by, but the scene is unchanged by him.  A momentary disturbance without effect, and possibly without cause - which is a bit sad.

The motion blur almost makes it appear as if the man was "sucked in" to the background instead of moving through it; incorporated into it like some hapless visitor to the twilight zone. I think it has to do with the subtle horizontal/vertical lines.

Best regards, Jack!

Great!Everything changes, everything moves. Love it! :)

It does not look like a still life. it is telling a story which has  an openning (still life), a middle, which is full of movement and than the end ( still life) again. Interesting trio, well composed.

Jack,  Never doubted the sharp eye and technical prowess in extracting meaningful sequences of (fast & slow) lifetime in a jiffy.  Pretty impressive really!  Still, did you manage to say Hello to him?  Best,

Nice concept, Jack! I think there's room for an interesting series.

Perhaps it's more than a momentary disturbance, if there's anything to the concept of the effect of quantum entanglement on photons.  The rider passed by but, because of this photograph, he is still riding by and always will be, even as he's also somewhere else.
