The majority of respondents to last week's Caption This entry were touched by how sad the subject of the picture looked. I was heartened to receive this feedback, because identical thoughts raced through my head as I raised my camera and took the shot.
Moon came closest, in my opinion, to capturing the dark thoughts surrounding this image. Her suggested caption - ''If I could do it over again'' - hit the emotional target.
I don't know where the subject of my surreptitious photo is now. Likely still floating up and down the street that sits between the beautiful beach and the somewhat dodgy neighborhood just across the bridge. Wherever she is, I hope she finds comfort from her sadness, from her transient life.
This week's image was taken just across the street from where this woman sat as she stared endlessly at the endless ocean. Footsteps in the sand have a poetry all their own; they're there, and then they're not. I thought this image would be a great candidate for Caption This.

ReplyDeleteNice shot Carmi....
It evoked feelings of apprecaition for me after the first week of homeschooling. I love how photography can be different for everyone and at the same time be just as meaningful to each person. Thanks for the reminding me of His faithfulness in my life...
BTW, I can feel the sand in my toes! :)
My husband took a picture similar to this yesterday... I'll email it to you!
ReplyDeleteHope you're keeping warm!
A footprint in the sand so clearly marks where a person has been...and is so completely wiped away eventually by the wave. Much like our life on this planet...we leave our footprints...but eventually, generations from now, the earth has moved on.
ReplyDeleteMy caption...My footprint; my moment.
Hmmm...I love shots like this. I am a reflexologist so I have a foot thing.
ReplyDelete"My Journey" is what I thought of when I saw the pic.
"Walking in your footstep".
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend.
It reminds me of the starting words for the soap opera "Days of Our Lives", which I don't watch anymore. "Like footprints on the sands of time, we remember the days of our lives" (or something like that).

ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Carmi. My sign is up and my Super Bowl party is a go!
A foot print, too soon washed away

Hi Carmi,
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me, but it's been too long since I was here last anyway.
Wonderful photo. I'll go think up a caption now.
~K!
So I'm thinking
ReplyDelete"Fleeting"
is a good caption.

"The Dawn of Man" Anytime I see a lone footprint in the sand I think of the ancient footprints uncovered by the Leakeys in Africa.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw that photo, the first thing that came to my head was:
ReplyDelete"Gone but not forgotten"
