I like being on the outside looking in. My journalist's soul prefers it that way because then I'm not part of the story, which is as it should be. I simply observe, quietly, and record, also quietly, what I see. More often than not, these spontaneous people-watching sessions of mine - go ahead, call me a voyeur - don't result in any kind of professionally sanctioned deliverable. But the experience changes me all the same.
On the surface, this is a drab photo (click here for more Thematic Photographic silliness.) Beneath the surface, I'm starting to think drab is anything but. No?
Your turn: There are countless ways to caption this photo, and I'm willing to bet you'll collectively come up with more than your fair share of zingers over the next week. Just click the comment link and give me your best. For more background on how Caption This works, click here.
About last week's photo of a wine glass: This is one of my favorite photos because it's one of those mini-worlds that only exists when you look through the lens and eliminate everything else around it. Maybe that's what I like about photography: the ability to block everything else out. Hmm...
This week's honorable menschens are:
- Robin: "Shaken, not stirred."
- PastorMac's Ann: "Wet but very very dry."
- MissMeliss: "Moment of claret-y"
- David: "Bait for a former president."
I can't come up with anything witty or catchy but it's a very "moody view." I like the way the windows seem to look onto other windows.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your views when you visit Loose leaf, Carmi. It's always a pleasure to hear from you!
For some reason I've fixated on the caption "Closing Time". Personally I'm not quite sure it fits, but apparently it's decided for itself that it does.
ReplyDeleteday is done, gone the sun
ReplyDeleteAlmost finished.
ReplyDeleteSince it's a little tilted, my mind went straight to Titanic (the daughter's been watching it a lot lately) but then I couldn't come up with a catchy sinking reference. I'll keep thinking, I've got all week...
Wait a sec, okay I got. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteHey Carmi :),
ReplyDeleteYou know I can't stay away too long at a time, I miss your photo challenges too much. Here's a few that come to mind, but I wonder if you'll follow my thinking; some are pretty convoluted, lol.
Have a GREAT week!

Nice photo. So interesting!

"I never thought I'd get down on one knee to ask this, but, George. . . gosh, I'm so nervous. . . George, will you go to the inter-county tractor show with me?"
