Day 743 “WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge “Window”

Over the last few warm days the ice in the John Street canal has begun to melt, bringing about some interesting images. This photo captures the reflection of the old mill building. What I like about this photo is the slight water movement making the windows look like old columns and the numbers shapes and “pictures-within-the-picture”.

Hopefully you see a reflection through your own pane of glass- something that helps you discover layers, motion and beauty: your window.

Day 741 “Monologues Beyond the Erotic – Up Next”

This is a photo of one of the readers/performance artists for “Monologues Beyond the Erotic” Readers. These women read from a script provided to them, it was not their story but a composite of many stories recorded through interviews by the author.

The interview this performance artist read focused on “Uterine Prolapse” which can be caused by lack of sex. Very interesting concept to me as I really didn’t understand prior that a woman’s choice of celibacy could mean the trade off of a physical ailment taking over.

Day 735 “His Face”

Out on New Year’s Eve just walking around Boston’s First Night events in zero degree weather. Not sure who was colder- my camera or me. I came upon a fire show event.

Another photographer started pushing himself though the large group of people to get his “perfect shot”. He was in such a hurry he pushed a homeless, elderly man on crutches out of his way. I spoke up, and the photographer apologized to the elderly gentleman.

The elderly gentleman thanked me and said “young man let me share this with you, if you have patience you can live a much better life. I wish I had learned that sooner”.

Walking away, I decided I needed to capture my “perfect shot”…His face.

“Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind.”
