As is stands, it's just blurry people walking around. The towers and buildings and such I understand, I can see the very same thing in the buildings around me. Indeed, the one I live in right now!<br /><br />In my opinion, the homeless and unfortunate, whose photographs you consider trite an unnecessary, provide important context for people like me, who really don't know anything much about America or the story of its populace.Abhishek Cherathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831477526772025601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-29461400158842546972017-03-27T20:36:41.603-07:002017-03-27T20:36:41.603-07:00It wasn't, but what an interesting observation...It wasn't, but what an interesting observation! The plane in flight was, as you might guess, accidental. <br /><br />Noticing it, though, I liked it (and picked that frame over others with no plane). I was thinking more of departure, or perhaps arrival. <br /><br />But by god it could also be some kind of subconscious "burn it to the ground" impulse that made me select, and then emphasize, the plane.<br /><br />I'm delighted! I always sort of hope that people will find things that I don't in my work, as well as, of course, seeing much of what I saw.<br /><br />I hope we don't wind up on some no fly list, of course. <br />amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-29739941261665709572017-03-27T20:05:37.169-07:002017-03-27T20:05:37.169-07:00I live in the area and visit the city regularly an...I live in the area and visit the city regularly and see much the same thing, but you've nicely stated and illustrated the process/situation. But there's something unsettling, in a different way from the other photos, about that last picture. The tower and the plane being highlighted makes my brain go straight to 9-11 and I'm not sure that's the intention. For me it distracts.<br /><br />-MatthewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-81414921611958943392017-03-27T16:33:44.865-07:002017-03-27T16:33:44.865-07:00I am deeply gratified to find that the writing is ...I am deeply gratified to find that the writing is being well received.

I am not interested in making pictures that stand alone -- partly because I am not very good at making pictures that stand alone.<br /><br />Taken together, they're supposed to add up to more than the bits and pieces, which I freely stipulate are not much of anything.<br />amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-21108254980400995032017-03-27T16:31:28.080-07:002017-03-27T16:31:28.080-07:00I am not, there is NO glow!

The storefront thing I've seen ten million times already, but it is appopriate. I don't like all the blurry people photos, I don't understand what they achieve. The uber, lyft one is cool, reminds me of a magazine I read.
