Swimming in the Sea of Humanity

I have a funny little habit: I often assign names to my photos.

Like this one. I call it Sea of Humanity, and it reflects another strange habit of mine where I shoot random scenes of large numbers of people in a public setting.

I realize this is a lake and not a sea, but the moment still sticks in my mind and my soul, where regular folks are going about a regular day, just trying to find a moment of rest from a fast-moving planet.

There’s a certain poignancy to the everyday-ness of scenes like this, and I’d like to imagine that all these people are enjoying this moment in this place as much as I am.
