"Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see." ~Dorothea Lange
"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
yeah, I can see it... but you know, it may be a little cliche, but a long shot down the alley would have probably lent to a more balanced picture and frame. On this one, I almost feel like the shot had the bottom half cropped off. For me, the subject would have been the alley, and let the shrubbery be one element to help frame the alley.
